Default Be sure it is the TOTAL cost

Just be sure it is the TOTAL cost, not just the cost of the Neurosurgeon and the device. His office may not know exactly what the Anestheiologist will charge, plus the 3-4 nights in the hospital, all your meds and IV's in the hospital, the surgery room fee, the labs fee, etc. etc. Tell them you need the TOTAL cost, as that is what you are facing.
