PNE Decompression Surgery Cost

[cwb125]

Does anyone have any idea how much PNE Decompression Surgery Cost will cost? Frankly, I just have no idea if it will be 4 figures, 5 figures, or even 6 figures+. I am going to see a doctor via telehealth pretty soon and am scared since the appointment will cost several hundred dollars.

Depends on where you have it done. If you don't have insurance and it's in the US it will be more expensive than somewhere like France. I think many people in the US have had theirs paid for by insurance though.

Thank you for the reply. Like so many things, the pandemic makes France much less viable.

I thought the FDA considered the surgery "experimental;" thus, insurance companies would not pay for it?

Depends on the insurance company, what insurance the doctor accepts, and what surgical approach you are having, but there are numerous people who have PNE surgery paid for by insurance.
