  6. I'm freaking out I don't that to stop it frim having surgery. I've been paying co-payments and also will be paying for my nutritional consult because they could not use my previous. I hope I can cover everything. Thanks for your reply I really appreciate it.
  7. I've been trying to save up for my out of pocket expenses... I know that the max out of pocket that i can be charged is $2500. Now, who will charge first? Is the deductible paid to the hospital? Do I have to pay anything else before I can have surgery?
