Default For those who have gone overseas

What would happen in the case of complications? I'm curious becuase if I do have to go overseas I'm concerned about what would happen if there were long or short term complications. I doubt my insurance would cover any costs resulting from those complications. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

That is one of the risks you have to consider. I know that I would have the support of my family doc and that my insurance did cover my visits to him and other pain docs(which did no good). I just had a long recovery. However, where I went, if you did have a major problem, they would revise or fix for free. You just had to get back there. Easier said than done. Anyway, I am fully recovered and living life again and I wish you success and a speedy recovery.
