How did this work with your insurance? You just called them and told them what was going on and this is where you wanted to go and BOOM, they were good with that?

Again, I've just always wondered how this works.

Yes. I literally called them and said, we are considering treatment at the Cleveland Clinic would this be covered by them and the answer was believe or not, YES. I was shocked and elated on that phone call. We really didn't believe they would approve it. We were with Blue Cross or United (Can't remember 100%) at the time. Now we did occur some expenses. My wife's surgery and treatment was probably at least $60K and we had to pay about $3-4K that wasn't covered.

The moral of the story is swing for the fences and ask.....
