I just need a ballpark estimate folks. Anyone? I saw someone say $40,000 and another $70000 somewhere but that doesn't seem right.

I seen to remember 45K. I think St. Joe's may have an accomodation program for those who are paying out of pocket. Ask his secretary, Patti at Patricia.Moreno@chw.edu. Dr. Hibner patients........ somebody must have an old bill lying around showing what your insurance paid.
Mild to moderate PN for 5 plus years, pain controlled by lyrica and opiates.
Nerve block (unguided) 9/10 Dr. Jerome Weiss - sciatica for 5 months but got numb in painful perineal/scrotal area - he diagnosed entrapment - but no more cortisone for me
Potter MRI 5/11 - rt STL entrapment of PN at Alcocks
Consult with Dr. Hibner Feb. 2012
Bilateral inguinal hernias diagnosed by dynamic ultrasound - surgery on 6/20/13
Feeling a little better, a few more months will tell

Hi, For some reason, I thought it was much less than 45K, but I could be wrong. He does take take insurance up front before surgery also though.
