They generally cover 80 per cent of their set price for such a procedure and yours is the remainder. If you have Medi-Gap insurance you are covered for the rest and if you have Medicaid that will cover the rest. The cost for open heart surgery depends on the doctor's fees and the particular hospital's charges, so we cannot answer that.
medicare generally has a set rate it will cover for the procedure (no I don't know how many thousands that is).
how much will be left will be determined by any number of factors.
if you have any other coverage, those charges will be submitted to them first.
