I don't know how much it being a redo would change the hospital fees. I guess if you only stay one night instead of two then that would make a decent dent in it. No clue. Ask the insurance people I guess! Or maybe someone else here would know.

qwertz--that's interesting; I didn't know that. It's really the only hospital in the area (besides others in the "Cottage" system), so it's where everyone in town goes. I agree with cvn that it doesn't seem that out of line from other bills I've had (I once had a bill of 18k for a 3-hour stint in intensive care at a public hospital with a kidney infection; they gave me an IV and I saw one doctor). I also agree that Cottage Hospital's staff are amazing, and that the rooms are pretty darn nice.

Can't say how much it cost for me, because I haven't seen final numbers from the hospital or the ins. company, but I'll keep y'all posted.

Arnett and Gunson are not in any insurance networks. However, I think anesthesiologist may accept BC/BS.
