It will depend on the doctor and hospital you go, but the fees are around $2000 for the doctor and $5000 for the hospital. This is the face price (the highest possible) that they charge. Of course insurance companies get much lower charges because of what they call reasonable and customary costs.

By the way, make sure you really need this. I was due to have one because they told me my tube might be blocked (it was not), and I got pregnant right before the scheduled and not necessary surgery.

wow, Patricia that is amazing, my dr. kept saying prior to my surgery my only way out was to get pregnant and i never did so i had the lapro.it costed us nothing as the insurance paid for it all, when we got the statement though it said it was 15000, cause i had numerous other procedures during it.

to kim,
dont stress, there are ways you can finance, you need to get that done it is important. when we were seeking fertility dr. help, he did the hsg and all sorts of test and we werent covered so they financed for us, check into it.

I had a laparoscopy and a hysteroscopy in March of this year and mine was about $17,000 but my insurance paid for most of it. I had to pay about $500 out of my pocket so far. Good Luck!!!

kim, not silly at all, thats what were all here for, in all honesty my husband and just filled out all kinds of paper work at the time and sat with the finance department, and billing and they helped us, we actually are still paying the fertility dr.s but at our own pace so it helped, i will research and if i have any links or more info i will let you know all my best.

My insurance company is Blue Cross/Blue Shield. I don't mind at all. After the procedure, my doctor has me on 7.5 mg of Provera and 1000mg of Fortamet which is like glucofage. Wish me luck!!! Good luck with your procedure and will pray you get prego soon!!!!

I'm sorry it's not Provera it's Femara. So many medicine it's hard to keep up...I'm hoping for this month...
