1. I just had arthoscopic knee surgery on my meniscus and the cost was right around $2,000 before insurance coverage.
2. Depends on where you live, your insurance, the ethics of your physician/hospital, etc. Assuming you live in an average metropolitan area, have pretty good insurance (BCBS, Aetna, United, etc.), and your physician/hospital is honest, here are ballparks by procedure: ACL - $1,250 Meniscetomy - $500 (Removal of section of meniscus) Meniscus Repair - $700 (stitch in a meniscus) These are the fees before things such as: anesthesia, inpatient care (if needed), medications, assistance required by physician in performing the operation, rehabilitation, the usual "little stuff", etc. Your insurance plays a role, regardless of your deductable, by stating what an "allowable" charge is. This often reduces the amount the physician and/or hospital can bill you. An ACL repair can easily rack up $4,000 in charges by the time it is all said and done, depending on a lot of the little stuff.
3. Knee surgery has become very common nowadays. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the forerunners healthcare .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this forerunners healthcare company. Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star. Many patients travel from United States of America and UK to get low cost surgery in India. Indian corporate hospitals are comparable to hospitals anywhere in the world. In fact, India has medical facilities that are comparable with the USA, UK and Canada. India offers World Class Medical Facilities, comparable with any of the western countries. India has state of the art Hospitals and the best medical experts. With the best infrastructure, the best possible Medical facilities, accompanied with the most competitive prices, you can get the treatment done in India at the lowest prices. http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com Hope this helps.
