Default Quote comparison from Dr. Clavel

OK, so i got my quote from Dr. Clavel for a hybrid/fusion lumbar procedure of l5/s1(fusion) and ADR(L4/l5). Quoted at 34049 Euros. If i opt for a double ADR for the cervical at c5/c6 and c6/7, the quote goes up to 46049 Euros...or a whopping 62,700 U.S. bucks . Essentially the cost increase would be another 12,000 Euros to do the neck(2 ADRs) the same day.
This is their "all-inclusive package" with transportation and hotel stay for one week after the 5-day hospital stay. It also includes a 1-year insurance management for any complications due to surgery that might arise.
Do these numbers line up with the types of surgeries any of you have had?? That's a a lot of dough to fork over, but is it a substantial savings to do both surgeries at the same time as opposed to doing them on separate dates?
