Office visit with Dr Katzen for consult $350.00 (he accepted what they paid and didnt charge me any extra, not even copay)

Dr. Katzen's surgery fees for tummy tuck and thigh lift $13,400.00 Insurance paid $4273.12 (again my OOP was already met.)

Hospital Bill: Inpatient 2 days $41,010.21 BC paid $3,390.00 (I met my OOP, so I didnt owe the rest.)

Anesthesia: $2,100.00 BC paid $1,206.58

= $56,860 Holy shnikes! But I feel like a million bucks! Now I know on a cash basis it will be alot cheaper! I just wanted to give ya a heads up, and Dr's typically bill huge and have lower return.
