Surgeo insurance looks interesting. In the package bundles for the implant surgeons that it lists, it states it covers costs for post surgical complications. Im not sure what that implies, but its worth investigating. Im not looking into any further because Eid, the surgeon I will be going with, is not part of their network.

However, it would nice to do something like pay an insurance company say $4000 to cover any complications and revisions that may need to happen over the first 8-10 years. If there is anything like this that any of you know, please tell.

My advice: choose a world-class surgeon and make yourself the healthiest you can.

The complication insurance covers things that may happen during surgery, a urethra gets nicked, you have a reaction to anesthesia and need extra days in the hospital...... My personal insurance said this would not be covered, hence the Surgeo insurance. BTW the CEO has contacted me a few times just to se if I were having issues.

The insurance covers a 12 month period. I wish I would have thought to ask about coverage out to 8 - 10 years. It does not hurt to ask, every thing is negotiable.

So it is possible to pay a monthly health insurance that would cover a implant replacement ? Any Canadians here know if anything like that available in Canada , I read somewhere on this forum that Sunlife insurance might cover for the implant but I wonder if they would cover out of country surgery.
