If your guess was 12K for the use of the surgery center + 73K for the surgery you get a cookie.


Your insurance company might pay 50% of that cost, while another company might pay 75%. The hospital's going to eat difference between their charges and whatever your Out of Pocket and the payment from insurance, so they overcharge for everything.

Back in 2019, I had a 1 hour Appendectomy, followed by 48 hours in the hospital. $64.5K was billed to my insurance, who paid out $13.4K. My portion was $6.1K, and the remaining $45K was 'discounted'
