Robert Miller Contact the insurance company to check if they will cover a second (or third) opinion. Make sure the doctor is in-network or your bill might be much higher. As of the actual billing, it's my understanding that you need pre-authorization from the insurance company. Then the hospital will deal with all of this after the surgery. Care is another thing. I didn't need any as I had the support from my wife. But it's probably good to discuss this with the potential surgeon and then with the insurance.

Yumiko Ishida A lot of people on this site have gotten virtual consultations from Cleaveland Clinic. I’m sure they are used to patients from out of state and know how to navigate the insurance situation. Like Rose, I suggest you contact the hospital / clinic and tell them what insurance you have because, ultimately, they are the ones that have to file the claim.
