Title: Apple Health Insurance to What? Help??
Post by: Stella Sophia on December 26, 2017, 04:40:00 PM
Hey guys,

I was on Apple Health insurance in WA state where my future surgery is fully covered and my doctor is Dr. Dugi out in Portland, OR. Now I have already done the consultation with Dugi and most likely 2019 will be my surgery date. My question is, since finding employment I can no longer be on Apple healthcare and I need to switch insurance but I am clueless as to where to start, which one would allow me to still have my surgery covered with Dugi, and which one pays for electrolysis and which one is the cheapest. I haven't contacted any insurance companies yet as we all know how that goes when we mention the "T" word, so I figured i'd start here first.

I live in WA state but my surgeon is in OR by the way.

Has apple health already paid ? I hear when a date is dropped they pay or paid some of it. And congrats [emoji898][emoji324][emoji323][emoji322]

I sent you a PM with additional information. Kaiser is amazing though.
