Re: Need Advice...sad and discouraged...

My ortho told me which insurance company covered the cost and during

open enrollment at my job I switched to that insurance, yes it was

more costly but not as costly as paying the 26,000 for my surgery.

After my surgery and the next open enrollment, I switch back to my

previous insurance which is more afordable for my family.

Hope that helps
