About 10 million Americans are suffering from hemorrhoids and insurance is something they’re all concerned of. Sometimes, insurance companies would do anything and everything to reject your claims. If your claim is valid and you’ve filled all the paperwork, they take you on a long merry-go-round journey for payment of the procedure done. They tell you to do this and do that and then rejecting your claim.
After finally deciding to take those unwanted hemorrhoids out, let us cover your ass. Hemorrhoid price tags are as follows:
1. The rubber band ligation treatment is used for bulging and internal hemorrhoids. This procedure is a bit uncomfortable because a rubber band is tied around the base of the hemorrhoid cutting off its blood supply. After a few days, the band and the hemorrhoid falls off. Its price tag: $500 – $1,500, depending on how many bands were used for the ligation. Some practitioners advised using 3 bands to be more effective.
2. Infrared coagulation can also be used for some types of hemorrhoids. With the use of infrared radiation, the hemorrhoids shrink eventually falling off. For an infrared coagulation, the cost per treatment ranges from $400 to $500, that includes a (2) 4-hour treatments, for a total of about $1,600 to $2,000.
3. Surgery would require hospitalization, however, it is the most complete method of removal for both internal and external hemorrhoids. The patient is placed under general anesthesia, then the doctor takes out or staples off the bleeding or protruding tissue. hemorrhoidectomy is so far the most expensive method. Depending on your hemorrhoids’ condition, you have to prepare somewhere between $9,000 – $12,000.
Of course, there are additional costs like the doctor’s consultation fee (which can be up to $200). However, with ligation and IRC procedure, the hemorrhoid can return thus requiring more treatment. Thus, you either end up paying for another session of ligation or IRC or getting a hemorrhoidectomy instead.
However, there cheap products readily available at home for hemorrhoid treatment. Sometimes you only need the right diet and exercise to be hemorrhoids-free.
Health habits and a lifestyle makeover is all you need to prevent hemorrhoids. Not all hemorrhoids need to be treated with a surgical knife. Consult your doctor if you can’t stand it and discuss options for treatment.
