Choices To Make...

I found out I have to do another test before my surgeon will schedule surgery. I'm going to see if I can talk to one of the Nurses or support Drs. to find out why this additional test as it's my surgeon's requirement, not an insurance requirement.

Here is my dilemma: if I have to have this test its financially prudent for me to have the test first thing in 2012 and let the surgery push a little later into 2012, maybe as late as early February. I've so had my heart on doing this first thing in 2012 but if push comes to shove it's much better for me to accrue the expense for the new test in 2012.

I've contacted my ins to see if they can give me a more accurate cost estimate on the procedure but if it's more than $100 to me, then I really think I'll be waiting... bummer.
