Re: Belgium (Ghent) Resurfacing Cost is low

October 9, 2002

Just as a bit of comparison we were quoted per person:

US - anywhere from $30,000 US to $50,000.00 (Canadian: $60,000 -

$75,000)

England: 9,500 pounds to 10,500 pounds (Candian: $22,000 -

$25,000.00)

Belgium: 9,500 Euros (Canadian ($15,000.00)

None of these prices included airfare or hotels

I am not sure how they do it in Belgium and I have a feeling that Dr.

De Smet's waiting list is going to get longer and longer thanks to all

those wonderful testimonials - sure glad we're booked already.

For one hip, EUR 7,000 for the hospital and EUR 2,500 to Dr. De

Smet. I just received a refund of EUR 296 from the hospital. EUR and

the Dollar were about the same in June.

It was 16,000 Euros, as I recall, which was the same as $16,000

with the <BR>

exchange rate at the time. 12,000 hospital fee and 4,000 surgeon's

fee.<BR>

Pamela,

I am just taking the opportunity to advise that the UK prices start at about

7,000 pounds (10,500 Euros /$US - 16,500$ Canadian); this is a fixed price for

everything and can be obtained at the Nuffield Hospital, Derby - other hospitals

are available at this price (I realise the prices you quoted are as you had

found). The quality of care at such hospitals is very high - As a rule in the

UK the further north you go the cheaper health care becomes for identical

treatment.

Hi Peg and - My bilateral in Belgium was the same as Peg's (July 3rd,

'02) 13,000 Euros for hospital and 4,000 for surgeon's fee, sent as

'pre-payment' - which at that time translated to $16,500 dollars. I'll

receive my final statement from the hospital in the next month or so and Dr.

De Smet says there could be a refund of part of that, depending on the

actual length of my stay etc.
