REVISED COST OF SURGERY QUESTION

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

Let me revise my question. I went in for a myomectomy and came out with a

surgical procedure to remove the fibroids, another procedure to remove

endometriosis, and srill another procedure to remove adhesions. The principal

surgeon billed me for four separate procedures whereas the assistant surgeon

did not. The billing of the four procedures separately by the principal

surgeon has made his bill quite expensive. Is it standard operating procedure

for a surgeon to bill separately for procedures in one surgical session, or am

I being overbilled? Can anyone help me?
