Insurance coverage: Typically, the hernia repair will be performed by the general surgeon, who will bill your insurance company.

Varies: I would discuss this with your surgeons beforehand. Make sure the arrangement is ok with you. There is no standard. Some surgeons don't or can't take your insurance. In this case it would be nice to have a pre-arranged price.

Varies.: There are no “standards” when it comes to pricing. Best to check with your surgeons prior to proceeding. Best wishes.
