out of pocket cost from medicare
If your surgery is considered inpatient (and you haven't been in the hospital in the last 60 days) you will owe the hospital the Part A deductible of $1,132.00.
If your surgery is considered outpatient surgery, however, you will owe 20% of the Medicare Part B fee schedule for the surgery. Ask your surgeon if your surgery is considered inpatient or outpatient. If it's outpatient, the hospital should be able to give you a pretty good estimate of your out-of-pocket cost.
You will also owe 20% of the Part B fees for your surgeon, anesthesiologist, and any other docs who care for you while you're in the hospital. Your surgeon and anesthesiologist should be able to give you an estimate or what a typical Medicare out-of-pocket cost would be.
