Guest guest Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I had upper/lower/chin done on Sept 10th. I just received a partial list from our insurance company and the total for the operation, including a 3 night stay at Stanford Medical University Hospital, Palo Alto, was $85,169.93 and that does not include the fees for the surgeon which is over $26,525...Thank goodness for insurance. We have about $1500 to pay for my hospital stay because I had a private room and some of the surgeon's bill because my chin wasn't covered by insurance ($700) and ortho $8000. What an expensive journey this has been, not just the money but the time taken away from my family ife. I hope I can say when it's all over that it has been worth it, I'm not there yet at 5.5 weeks post-op.
