How much does inguinal hernia surgery cost?

I am going to be needing surgery for a inguinal hernia, my doctor said he wont do it laproscopaly but merely the old craze way.

I do not own insurance, does anyone know a rough estimate on how much it will cost? like for example 4500-5000$ or something? PLEASE HELP i stipulation to know about how much this will cost.

did the doctor bring up to date you how much s/he charges ? usually the surgeon gets a tax and then in that would be a hospital fee , the anesthesia doctor get a fee. i would ask him if he does get something done the surgery lapro because you recover quicker . smaller number time in hospital , will indicate less money. it is also system you can probably go posterior to work faster . lapro is a newer technique and some doctors don't know it so they tell you they will do the mature fashioned way. sometimes lapro costs more money. i know that near one of my surgeries the insurance company preferred that it be done traditional because it was more cost potent. i think that "bread " customers get much better rates than insurance companies wage. Has never made sense to me. Good luck to you.
