Here are the latest charges payable to the Nantes doctors for anyone considering this option:

PNMLT testing: 500 euros

Diagnostic block 500 euros

Multi-disciplinary testing 50 euros

Payment to Prof Robert:

Unilateral surgery 2,000 euros

Bilateral surgery 3,000 euros

Payment to hospital IF a 2-day stay 2,500 euros

Not quite sure how much the hospital stay is if it's longer, maybe 1,250 per day

The schedule of fees here was posted pretty recently (Sept. 2010.) Has anyone gone and had surgery and found out it was more than expected (based on these rates?)

Has anyone been tested in Houston and then flown to Nantes for the surgery because of the hospitalization rates been so much more here in the states?

Thanks,
Ms. Rivers

I don't think the prices rise very fast in France, but I do know that it's common for patients who are self-pay to get diagnosed in Houston and have surgery in France. Hope this helps.

Celeste,
I am thinking of the possibility of surgery now since I have had PN or PNE for 1 1/2 years now. I only thought that France had good success for PNE decompression surgery. I was not aware of Houston having success until I read your post. Thanks for posting. I will now look into the possiblity of Houston. Just out of curiousity how long did it take you to recover from your surgery as far as the pain and any other problems. I already had 3 nerve blocks, MRIs, and other tests, so I guess I might be a good candidate for it since I have had it for so long now. Its amazing to me, when I see somebody on here such as you with PNE, saying they were completely cured. It gives me hope that I can one day be completely cured and one day drive again. Before your surgery, did you have PNE really bad? Was it hard for you to drive, sit, etc. all that time you had it? Sorry for so many questions. Take care and God Bless
