tumor surgery cost - #14592

Vedant

I am really stressed about my dad’s health. He was diagnosed with a tumor last month, and the doctors recommended surgery. It’s just been a whirlwind, you know? First, we thought we might get away with just meds, but now it’s all about tumor surgery cost and figuring out how we’re gonna pay for it. I mean, we have insurance, but it seems like they cover only part of the tumor surgery cost, and I can't wrap my head around what that even means. Like, one doc told me it could be anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 depending on what needs to be done. How do people even budget for this stuff?! There’s also all these other fees for the hospital stay, anesthesiologist, post-op care—the tumor surgery cost is gonna add up fast. I'm even worried about taking time off work to help care for him afterward. I just don’t know what questions to ask the hospital staff, or if I should get a second opinion, or if I should just accept whatever they tell us about the tumor surgery cost. Has anyone gone through this and has tips? How do you even know if the cost is justified? Are there hidden fees or things I should look out for? Feels really overwhelming right now.
