My uncle has no health insurance and he intends to self-pay for his procedures. One of the hospitals in Orlando quoted $65,000 just for the cath and my uncle would get 50% discount rate for uninsured patients. Does anyone know any other place/hospital in Orlando charging less? We are still trying to figure out why these types of procedure cost so much. Thank you in advance

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle and I hope you can find someplace acceptable.

However, why would anyone expect a procedure that requires extensive expertise, equipment, supervision, followup, liability, medications and oversight and will KEEP YOU ALIVE to be inexpensive?
