That price does not cover everything....physical therapy for starters is not included. Yes you can return home and try to get your insurance to cover sessions, but 1. I'd stay in the area since complications can arise. 2. I'd never recommend going to a normal physical therapist; has to be someone well versed in LL. And obviously extra surgeries from complications then hardware removal is never covered by anyone.

If you live in the area and can find a LL pt specialist, you'll save more doing this and then there's the convenience. But if Im traveling and going to be inconvenienced anyways....I'd just go to Paley, price difference isn't enough at all to justify a switch

I’m lengthening with Assayag and he charges 60-70k for precice and the non-profit hospital housing for LL patients charges less than 600$ a month. The femur precice patients here did one leg at a time a week apart, so they can skip the hospital overnight fee. It becomes outpatient if you do one at a time. You can still do both legs at a time, but you’ll save a significant amount doing singles.
The PT here is world class and deals with a bunch of LL patients, and it’s across the street from the hospital housing.

So there is zero point going to a less experienced surgeon charging more imo, with less resources to offer PT/housing. We’re all staying across the street from Sinai hospital, PT, & assayags office. I have an electric wheelchair I’m using to go to PT and my doctor visits. It is quite literally on the other side of the street.
