To use this site, select a category to determine and compare your healthcare costs.
Health care facilities do not have a single rate sheet you can consult. Bills from a hospital or doctor can come from many different providers: your surgeon, anesthesiologist, pathologist, labs, and the hospital.
Reviewing your bill is vital. Even when you have insurance, overcharges will come out of your pocket. You will receive a EOB (Explanation of benefits) from your insurance company. It will say, "This is not a bill." This statement will tell you how much your insurance plan will cover and what you are responsible for. Your bill will follow in separate statements. Find out approximately what you should expect to pay by selecting the appropriate category here.

Surgery Overseas - Medical Tourism |

 Save Money and Enjoy a Vacation. One option for patients looking for an alternative to expensive surgery in the US is to have it done overseas. I don't recommend this option and would advise you to do your homework and get plenty of recommendations before seeking overseas surgery as an alternative to having it done in the US. The savings are definetly there. A hip replacement in the US can cost upwards of $43,000. Overseas it can cost as little as $7,100. That's roughly what it would cost you in India! There are other alternatives as well. You could have the operation performed in New Zealand for roughly $15,000 and use your savings to make a little vacation out of it while you are recovering.

 Just because you are receiving COBRA benefits doesn't automatically guarantee that you are receiving the cheapest health insurance. Some insurance companies may be able to beat the prices you are paying for COBRA. If you just want insurance to cover very expensive procedures, a higher deductable could reduce your monthly premiums substantially. Try raising your deductable and see what happens to your rates. You can receive free quotes from several companies at once and compare. Compare Insurance Quotes here.
