I just had it done and although my only co-pay was 300, I think the hospital, surgeon and anesthesiologist totaled about $2000. Don't take my word for it. Go to a osteopedic surgeon and find out. They might not be able to give you the complete cost of the hospital but mine was able to. I checked with my insurance first. Good luck. It will help you.
