Are you referring to SRS or correction/ revision surgery?
I the US costs are generally higher than in other countries; I'm not sure where you're located. I've paid ~$16,300 USD for my upcoming SRS with Suporn (Thailand). I believe Dr Chet is a bit cheaper, and I know Brassard is 20k CAD/~15.1k USD. I settled on Suporn in part bc he covers future revisions in the original SRS costs, or rather absorbs the costs of them.
I don't know about BA though.

It will really depend on the insurance, what your deductible is, co-pay, percent covered, and secondary insurance if you have any.
For instance I have Medicare as my primary with Medicaid as my secondary.
Medicare typically (not gender related procedures) covers 80% of the hospital costs, while Medicaid picks up the other 20%.
Best advice I can give you is to call your insurer. Verify benefits, and start the prior authorization process.
Often insurance will pay a set amount for a certain procedure. If you're surgeon charges more or less than that amount that affects your out of pocket costs.
