We now have all the bills for my husband's THA (the insurance pays most of it). We weren't surprised that the hospital billed around $25K for his op and 1 night stay but were surprised that almost half of this, around $11,500, was for the implant. Had no idea it  costs that much. I thought this might be interesting since many forum members  utilizing the NHS don't get to know the costs. 

Maybe we need to up his insurance now he's worth more haha
