Does anyone know the approximate cost of an inguinal hernia operation (in the Northern Virginia/DC area)? My brother needs the surgery but has no insurance. He will need my help in paying for it. Thanks

I received the hospital bill today which was for $14,252 (my area is Kansas City). This was for a small inguinal hernia repair using the laproscopic method. This does not count the surgeon's bill which should come separately. I tried to find out directly from the hospital what this would cost in advance. They never sent me even an estimate. Hope this helps. (I am not implying it shouldn't be done, but wow, is it expensive!)
