Maybe things have changed in the last 5 years. As a 'cash' patient, Cedars was willing to charge me 75k for the discs and 3 day hospital stay - including surgical center. The now defunct Doctor's Hospital, eager for patients as they were just opening, wanted more and wouldn't budge. Doctors would not lower their fees either.

My surgery at the time was supposed to by hybrid with a fusion at
s1/L5. I asked if why they wouldn't bill the ins co for that covered surgery or at least give me the BC rate. I'm still running around at their answer.

Glad you had more luck
