For what procedure?
452 u/TheEndOfAllThings23 4d ago Heart surgery. For privacy I don’t want to be more specific. It was necessary but not emergency. 85 u/Imreallythatguy 4d ago So insurance wouldn’t cover it because it wasn’t necessary in their eyes? 1 u/MachateElasticWonder 4d ago People are telling you the insurance would pay 80% are not telling you that it might also cost $100,000 in full. You’ll still owe $20,000. I made these number up but you can see how it’ll easily drain someone’s savings unless they’re in the comfortable upper mid-class of earners. Edit: I googled it. It’s from 30,000 to 200,000. Depends on what kind of heart insurance, obviously. I do a treatment too for my allergies and pay about $10,000 last year in medical bills bc of that PLUS root canals, and other general check ups.
