Cost of Staying at Hospital in Tokyo

You were actually admitted for wisdom teeth extraction???? I’m in shock!! In the US, that’s done in an oral surgeons office then you’re sent home!!! It’s not done under general anesthesia. I’m an RN and I actually like the way Tokyo does it and you definitely can’t beat the cost!!❤️👍

[@Col_Fragg]

There's a downside to this. Because there are limits to what doctors can charge per day / per visit, the doctors will stretch things out so they can charge you more. That's probably why they opted to admit. I've gone to the dentist to get some fillings. In the states, they would finish everything in a single visit. In Japan, the Dentist spread it out over 3 or 4 visits. Even so, the price was spectacularly inexpensive. After insurance, the price was like less than $10 per visit. On the first visit, I thought they made a serious error when they told me the charge.

As far as I know, wisdom teeth in Australia are removed at the dentist, not doctor. No overnight stay! I suspect it would be as expensive as American dentist.

Specialist doctors can be seen at discounted or occasional freebie - BUT you often wait for a year or two if not urgent. State dentists do almost nothing but fillings and pulling teeth. Lose all your teeth and you wait ages to get the most basic false teeth. I had a heart attack and had op day after and my only expense was getting home, as I came in by ambulance.

In Brazil it's free, but you have to wait a few weeks, sometimes a month. It depends on your condition: if you're having fever or difficulty for eat, you'll probably be treated faster. If you're able to wait, you will. The health center of your neighborhood will mark you an appointment with the orthodontist, then he marks the day to take your teeth off. He takes the teeth out, gives you a sheet with eating and other instructions, you'll go home and rest for a few days (generally you'll receive a week off of work/school to recover). Not the prettiest hospitals, doesn't have the most technological equipments, you have to wait (sometimes a lot), but it's free and it works equal for everyone.

They put her in a small sofa with a curtain around it and called it a "semi-private room." After 2hrs of being there, checked by a Nurse Practitioner (not a real Doctor) we went home. After that night the pain subsided and my wife was fine. Based on her symptoms we think it was a urinary track infection or just air that was trapped... The total bill for those 2hrs was $17,000 dollars! Since we had Employer sponsored medical insurance, we only paid $1,800 for the out of pocket deductible. That means that the insurance paid approximately $10K to 12K, of the medical bill. You see, hospitals charge exuberant charges because they know insurance companies pay those charges. They code every single action as a charge. So health insurance rather just pay because they know that they can just increase the premiums on customers each year. Now, if you don't have health insurance, you have to fight those charges and plead with the hospital to reduce the bill, otherwise that bill could hunt you for the rest of your life.

Medicaid isn't as easy to get as you assume. There are financial restrictions. I made $50 too much per year to qualify. I was forced to pay over $500/mo for health insurance alone or got penalized due to obamacare. I'm also disabled, but too young to be approved for SSDI so medicare is not achievable yet. The system is rigged against the people in the US. The Healthcare industry essentially runs a giant fraud against the people it claims to serve and the corporations for the sole reason that they can get away with it.

@@cierradriggers476 But it's not though. Not only would I have to wait months for that surgery due to it being national healthcare, and you can look at any reports from the UK, from the Nordic countries, from Canada and see those wait times for anything that is not life-threatening, But depending on your income, you could be paying way more than that $38k. 000 for instance if you make over $200,000 a year in Canada, you actually spend about 40% of your your taxes that goes back to the government solely on health care. That equates to about $40 to $50,000 a year. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't go to the doctor and spend $50,000 a year in healthcare anyway, that's not " affordable health Care" in fact in the early 2000s the health care wait times were so bad in Canada they were called a human rights violation by the Canadian supreme Court. Oh and on top of everything else, if you don't want those horrific wait times, you can buy private insurance in those countries so you're spending even more on top of the already taxed amount you are per year, and if you go the route of not the national healthcare so you can actually have the incredible amount of pain I was going through, you will get billed the same thing that you would in any other country without national health Care. 🤦🏽

My roommate lost his job, and lost his dental insurance last year right before he broke a tooth. He tried to keep it clean, but it ended up getting infected and he almost died because the infection started to close his airways. He was in the ICU for like 4 days, and had one surgery. His medical bill was like $130k all together. Luckily we live in a state that has a great medicaid program that he luckily qualified for because he had been door dashing trying to save up money to see an oral surgeon, which wasn't reported income because you report that income quarterly. So he ended up not having to pay any of it, but it goes to show that the american healthcare system forces people to wait until they have a serious issue before they can even get help, and then when they do they can accumulate the equivalent debt as buying a condo.

American Healthcare system is not perfect and especially for uninsured or under insured, but my 40 year experience of living and working as a descent salaried person, employer insurance was more than adequate to cover all of my family healthcare needs as big as surgeries as small as routine check up.
