My insurance only covers $7,500, for a BCBS HMO approved facility,so I will have to pick up the difference, which I hear can be a lot! Can anyone recommend a surgeon around here that is cheap?

Dr Kirshenbaum is a good surgeon from what i hear and he's one of the cheapest in the US . Happens to be in Denver

There are MANY Threads on here about him .. Here is one of the bigger ones
