Heres my story.
In for a hernia repair. Outpatient in surgery 45 minutes, in recovery about an hour released to home. Recovery estimated time 6 weeks.
Total hysterectomy with fibroid removal, be there 2 hours for pre surgical, surgery 2.5 hours, recovery 3 days instead of the 4-5 Dr. thought.
Home care I pay for out of my Medicare payments and supplemental insurance. Recovery time estimated ?
At no point in time was there any milking of the system, padding of hospitalization, or misuse of Medical polices and procedures.
I pay out of pocket copay of $400.00 for hospital stay and copays to specialists of $30.00
Total of aprox $530.00 for major surgery. This is the way it is supposed to work, I don't know what system Prudence is under, but it isn't factual.
