Jean,

Have you heard about the Surgical Center? Dr. R has started doing

surgeries there and the cost is much lower....instead of the $11,000

that Durham Regional wants up front, you pay $7,000. There is still the

doctor's fee ($3455) and then anesthesia is $600. Don't give up! Can

you change insurance companies?
