I have Anthem BCBS....FYI, check your insurance documents and see if you can get covered for insurance abroad. There are a couple people here who have had that covered. I would get in touch with your primary physician and see if they can order these tests for you. If not, yes you will be hard pressed to find someone to take care of you during the recovery. I would think unless something really bad happens, you would only need standard x-rays to send back to overseas doctor for review. I'm in the same process and still fuzzy on how i can handle that situation.

Then again, if something seems bad....i can't see how they can refuse you care if you're covered. Primary care physician may be able to work a referral out to a local doc willing to get you the necessary testing.
