Any Americans/Kentuckians that can estimate how much this hospital visit would cost with no insurance for us socialists with universal healthcare?![]()
ok so judging by some online sources a d&c procedure without insurance will cost anywhere from 5k-15k just through a private hospital on its own.
Compare that to a roughly 1k-2k charge if ALR went through a regular OBGYN office visit for the D&C procedure.
typically you will receive a separate bill from ER doctors for treatment which can range from 500-1k.
hospitals in KY charge Medicare about national average so ALR is looking at a 15-16k bill, lowest ballpark is 5k. The hospital may negotiate lower since she has no insurance and never pays her bills, like through a payment plan, since some payment is better than nothing at all.

Since ALR probably doesn’t know anatomy I’m assuming they may have cut her vulva/labia during the D&C because holding back all her folds the entire procedure and NOT slicing something extra would be a miracle.
