As some of you are aware, I just had an umbilical hernia repaired, so I thought I would share the costs so you can compare.
I had the surgery performed at Hopsiten. They have locations in Santo Domingo and Punta Cana. Nice modern facility, great staff. I would have no problem recommending them.
An Overall good and easy experience.
Hospiten - Dominican Republic (DR1)
I'm going to show what you would pay without insurance or if you go private and then my actual out of pocket costs ( ).
Costs to date:
3 x Consulates with the surgeon - RD$3,300 (RD$720)
1 x Consulte with the cardiologist - RD$1,100 (RD$240)
Various blood tests, x-rays, EKG - RD$4,200 (RD$1,400)
Surgery, plus all the associated costs (anesthetist, fluids, drugs, drapes, recovery etc) - RD$33,246 (RD$5,807)
Total cost: RD$41,836 (RD$8,177) in US$1,140 (US$225)
My insurance (ARS Humano - Plan Max) costs me a little over RD$16,000 (US$440) annually.
