At clinic in Maryland, we can repair hernias for $1,900. This includes all costs: surgeon, anesthesia, supplies, mesh

My inguinal hernia operation in Thailand was just over $1000, inclusive of everything. Try looking into "medical tourism" in foreign countries. The medical care here is just as advanced without the pomp and nonsense. A hospital room is about $80 a night, it goes down to about $20 a night in a ward (a room with 10 beds).

I found the No Insurance Surgery clinic in Nevada thanks to your post. Great doctor, great surgery center. It is very similar to the Schouldice method in Canada which is what I wanted meaning no mesh. I had the surgery last week. I'm walking with less pain that before the surgery. I am very happy to have everything back in the right place and look forward to exercising. I don't think I would have been able to have it done if it weren't for this doctor. I think the cost went up in 2010 for people's information, but I'm sure it is still great. Fortunately I have a sister in the same town so I recuperated for a few days on a light vegetable soup and fruit diet to keep the digestion moving. I felt like a medical tourist, but I'd much rather be a medical tourist inside the US than outside.

Hello, I'm a British person living in Bogotá, Colombia and I just had a Bilateral Inguinal hernia surgery. I'm Affiliated to the EPS, that is the social security system for the majority of people in Colombia (around $40 US/month) . The cost of of the surgery was about $70 US dollars, YES!!! It is really amazing the professionalism of the doctors and nurses in this country. The system maybe is not the best in the world, and some clinics affiliated to the EPS are not the best equipped, but they have everything you need really.
Also I heard of people here that have done the same surgery in the "best" Clinics and Hospitals in Colombia for a lot of money and don't come out satisfied with the result and the service they received. Anyway all the best for all of you, my advise be very patient with the operation.

Hi,
I recently went through an inguinal hernia surgery. I was suffering with that for more than 2yrs. I went to india for the surgery. The total cost was 60,000 indian rupees ($1300) and the hospital is a multi speciality hospital with all the modern technologies and latest equipments.
If you want to save more money even you can go for the normal hospitals where the total expenditure for the treatment will be around 30,000 rupees 700$.
I am absolutely satisfied with their treatment and i am happy now. So all including your flight, stay for 15 days(at the max) and the surgery cost will not be more than 4000 for sure.

Hi, could the guest that talked about having the procedure in Bogota talk a little more about his experience. I lived in Colombia for a year about a year ago and am not familiar with the EPS but I am familiar with Colombian medical professionals and agree totally that they are of the highest caliber. I believe I need surgery soon and would highly consider going back to Colombia (flights are often super-cheap), but I was hoping if you could explain a little how to affiliate with EPS - do I have to have a special visa status, does it take a processing period, etc. Also, how long did you have to wait to get an appointment for the surgery, and how long was the recovery time?
I appreciate any and all of your advice and that of others on the subject as well.
Thanks,
George

Hello- I had a bilateral inguinal hernia surgery two weeks ago at St. Johns Hospital in Maplewood MN. I just received my bill and it was a staggering $27,000 and thats not including the surgeons cost! As I was viewing the charges it showed that just the operating room was $10,500 and to just administer the anesthesia to me was $4,500. I cannot believe the cost. I DO NOT have insurance and I am not eligible for any state help. The only thing I can think of right now is to declare medical bancruptsy. I am a 28 year old female. When I called the hospital to ask about payments they said they will not take anything less than $1,000 a month otherwise they will report me to collectors and put it on my credit. I cannot believe that they are not willing to work with me to make it more manageable. I have had nine other surgeries throughout my life and they have all been covered on insurance, but they have never been this expensive. I'm a good person and I believe that you should pay for services that you receive but its almost as if they are shoving me in a corner and I have no other choices.

Well, I was told that I need this surgery, that I will not get any better without it, but if it's going to cost $23,000 + to have it done, and us with no insurance, forget it. I'm not having it done. I'll deal with it.

I am in the process of scheduling my surgery in Gulfport, MS. So far, the surgeon's fee is $1250. That seems a little excessive, but I can justify it.
The hospital, however, has told me that the estimate for the 30 minute, outpatient procedure is $35,000.
Unbelievable!
