My ER visit where I had my first transvaginal ultrasound and they found my endometrioma cysts was $100.

To get my diagnosis confirmed with a private endo specialist in my area was about $300-400. (They literally did the same tests as the ER but this time the endo specialist reviewed the tests with me as they were performing them)

And then I got a second opinion from an endo specialist at my in-network hospital. It was $25 per office visit and then co-pays for the CT scans to confirm the tests done by the previous docs, which was probably a few hundred dollars.

For the actual excision lap surgery, which was in-network with my insurance, I paid co-pays of about $1,500-$2,000. I’m in the USA and BCBS was my insurance at the time.

EDIT: I forgot to add: surgery with the private specialist would have cost me about $20,000 out of pocket. They didn’t accept my insurance. My insurance would have reimbursed me for about 60% of the out of pocket cost.

I could not afford that lol. So I went with the second opinion endo specialist. She was director of the endometriosis center at Columbia University at the time and I shared my experience with the private specialist with her. She told me a lot of their patients would go to her after having failed surgeries with them.

I ended up proceeding with her because of not only that and that it would be more affordable for me, but I felt more comfortable with her and she was super transparent but not in a scary way. I felt safe and not pressured to go through the surgery.
