Not sure if this is the right section, but it's definitely not 'aesthetics'
I received a quote from a well-known surgeon for double jaw surgery and a few other things to the midface/chin, which was overall a lot better than what I was expecting. Everything on their end seems great so far and I like the clinic. I am 100% ready to pay the surgeon’s reasonable fees.
The issue is that he works in a major hospital and I would need to stay multiple days along with having a long operation, however I have no clue how much this will cost or if it will be covered by insurance (I am on my parents' PPO plan). In the case that the hospital fees won’t bankrupt me, I would move forward immediately and set the date for next year, but paying a full 100k+ cost for the multiple day hospital stay would make this obviously unaffordable.
I’ve posted my scans and plans on the forum previously, but it’s a typical case (vertical maxillary hyperplasia, maxillary hypoplasia, mandibular hypoplasia, microgenia, infraorbital hypoplasia, maxillary and mandibular asymmetry, etc). I do not have obstructive sleep apnea nor TMJ degeneration. The issues stated were nasal airway obstruction, hypertrophied turbinates, deviated septum, lip incompetence, and mentalis strain.
Since this isn’t a “required” surgery, how do I figure out how much my hospital fees will cost? If anyone has experience related to this, it would be very helpful to hear. I can post more details or specifics if you’d like (like insurance, diagnoses, plans, etc).
