Insurance for out-of-town patients in US

If you are a Canadian patient and get surgery in the US, it seems like infections can take 2-3 weeks to surface.

What happens if you have already returned back to Canada and discover the infection after a few weeks.

I know you'd probably have to go back to the US surgeon to temporarily get a salvage procedure done.

Is there insurance that one can take out to cover the hospital stay, etc?

It would otherwise seem like the costs could easily blow up without insurance.

Thanks

Surgeo has cash pay for penile implants with some really good doctors. They include a third party 25k insurance for the first year. You might check them out. I have not used them nor do I know anyone who has so I can't give any other info.

As the above poster said, Surgeo is a great option. Dr Blick will also offer some sort of "free" fix if its within 90 days.
