New from Code WACK,Need out of state healthcare? You'll pay through the nose!

Nurse Talk

Need out-of-state coverage? Get ready to jump through hoops & pay through the nose. This time on Code WACK! How far did one man have to go to get the health insurance he needed to cover a specialized surgery in another state? Despite jumping through many hoops to even qualify to buy the coverage he needed, why did he still end up paying tens of thousands of dollars in out of pocket costs? How much would you be willing to pay for the freedom to consult the doctor of your choice? We recently spoke to Rand, a commercial property manager, writer and father of three in Southern California who shared the formidable health and insurance challenges that he’s faced with us. Rand asked that we not use his last name for this interview. This is the second of a two-part series with Rand.
