Bear with me, Steve....

I freely confess that all things health insurance related.... well, actually all things health related... are a complete mystery to me.

I receive pounds of mail weekly from my health insurance - and I merely skim thru them to see if I'm being billed... other than that, it's a foreign language to me.

I'm assuming you will pay your deductible for the procedure to test for needing a stint, and does that total cost include the placement of a stint as well, should you need it that is?
