Potential emergencies and insurance

I'll admit, the complications and such I've read about for this surgery make me nervous. Heck, who wouldn't be. And being self pay,we are bombarded by all the messages and fear about complications. So, I just finished pouring through my insurance plan legal disclosure documents. Yeah, fun read.

Big relief in that my plan will cover emergency services for complications resulting from non-covered services. Phew. Hopefully I won't need to take advantage of that but glad to know i am covered in the event of an emergency.

My policy does also.

The only "complication" I encountered was dehydration. And my insurance covered the 2 times i went in to get a bag of fluids.

Good for you for checking! I am sure it eases your mind!
