Dr. Giotikas says to send x-rays to him for about 10 months out after the surgery. I'm flying back to the USA after 3 months

Does insurance typically cover the x-rays or is it a bad idea to even submit an insurance payment request to the insurance company for this?

How much should I budget in for the x-rays for these 10 months?

My insurance company covered it.

My insurance company covered it.

ty!! Curious, how did it work? You booked an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon, told him you did CLL, he gave the prescription for the x-ray, and the insurance paid for it? The insurance was never told that it was because it was a cosmetic operation?

It was my primary care doctor who ordered the x-rays.  It was an HMO so there was no coordination between independent providers necessary.  You're better off with something like that in this case.  Trying to get a bureaucrat in an office somewhere, whose job is to figure out how not to pay bills, to pay a random x-ray bill you mail them probably won't work.

Ty!! You are getting a second LL right? What are your thoughts on the financial pros and cons for a USA citizen of doing the second internal LL with Giotikas vs. Parihar?

That 2nd LL has been cancelled.  It would depend on your budget so I can't comment on Greece vs. India.
