I think the real question is CAN you afford to pay out of pocket and pursue that insurance institution 6 months post-op.

it's going to be a long and rough ride no matter what you decide. Another question is whether your insurance will pay the hospital bill. If you can get pre approval for the hospital bill then you'll have no problem getting the surgery. Of course if you use delamarter then you're paying the whole doctor bill out of pocket first and he will charge your insurance later. He can charge an outragous amount, so be careful. There are plenty of good surgeons here in LA.

On the other ahnd, if you can afford Delamarter to be your surgeon, then you can afford to go to germany.
