I have not had my surgery yet, but in talking to the reps Anthem Ble Cross HMO 100% covers it 100% except for my $10 copay for doctors visits and $500 copay for the hospital stay.

Deborah DONT GIVE UP! It will happen!

I was a self pay w/o insurance through my employer being affordable (and the exclusion they have anyways)

23,000 all together plus 575 for my PCP to run all the blood labs and physicals
