Wow! I wish there were more surgeons willing to be up-front about the cost of their procedure! My hat's off to you.

Hi
Does Medicare/Medicaid cover this type of surgery for senior citizen

[@CaliforniaHerniaSpecialists]

Anuradha Subramanian, Medicare covers all types of hernia repair surgeries. There may be some deductibles or co-insurance payments, but the majority of charges are covered. Best, CAHS

Is the $4,000 the same for insured patients? I am just curious. Thank you

[@CaliforniaHerniaSpecialists]

Joshua, Patients with insurance have a variety of deductibles and co-insurance. Costs for those patients vary depending on their plan and their YTD payments. Best, CAHS

Hello Dr.Harris
Do you take medical even if you belong to Los Angeles County? I live in Long Beach,CA.
