I got the call today. Insurance is a YES!

I got the call from my surgeon today that insurance will pay for my implant. If I do it before the end of the year my cost will be $700 since I have already met my deductible. If I wait until after Jan 1 it will be $4000 more because of my deductible. Looks like we are doing this Late December. Very nervous, but excited!

Now just to figure out how long to tell them I will be off work!

Congrats man!

Desk job here and I had no issues going back after two weeks off. But everyone is different so...

Best of luck and keep us posted.

Thanks. It was my surgeons office that called and said the insurance would cover it. We have a 2 week vacation to Jamaica the first 2 weeks of December, so I'll have the surgery after vacation. I'll call again tomorrow to get a specific date. I'll take a month off work to get the most of my short term disability that I have been paying into. LOL
