Answer:
d) $3,000
Explanation:
Assuming that there are no activation costs for this insurance policy. The total cost from the patient's perspective is given by the amount charged by the surgeon ($5,000) plus the travel costs ($1,000) subtracted by the amount covered by the insurance ($3,000).
[tex]C = (\$5,000+\$1,000) - \$3,000\\C= \$3,000[/tex]
From your perspective, the cost of the surgery is d) $3,000
