appendectomy

[rodknock]

how much should an open appendectomy cost in the bkk. area?

[Meat Pie 47]

Just ask a hospital not an open forum

A complete guess....200k.

As a guide, here is what Bangkok Hospital state: 182k

Prices will vary, best to enquire with your preferred chosen hospital.

Depends entirely on where you go.

 

In a government hospital and staying in a ward, under 40K

 

In a private hospital anywhere from 100-250 k depending on the hospital

 

This is assuming no complications which in turn assumes prompt treatment.

 

A ruptured appendix can easily run to a million baht or more of ICU care, and may cause death

Your health insurance will cover it.  Appendix is never listed as a pre-existing condition AFAIK

I've also just had two nights in hospital - not Bumrungrad though.

 

The bill is always amusing...

 

I think one line was "non -clinical extras", which I thought had already been covered in "additional non- food".

 

Something along those lines anyway, can't be bothered to get the bill out again.

"non -clinical extras",

A "night" nurse maybe?

Couldn't read my bill through the tears.
