I ended up paying $8k out of pocket after my pretty good insurance paid out. I'm still astonished at the overall cost, though.

- randerson 8y ago$160K sounds cheap to me if you're in the US. I had a heart ablation a few years back for an irregular heart beat. Like the procedure in the article its minimally invasive where they go in through the groin to zap some electricity at a few cells in the heart. I was conscious throughout and was back at work the next day. They billed $400K for that, and insurance negotiated it down to around ~$120K. For something as complex as what you've mentioned I'd have expected 7 figures.
