Anterior Cruciate Ligament(ACL) Surgery
If you are a part of Northern Nevada’s snow sports scene, tearing an ACL is relatively common. The injury, which often requires surgery, can cost up to $25,000 without health insurance. Make sure that your health insurance doesn’t limit your coverage based on activity–unlike Short Term Limited Duration Plans–to ensure that you get the best care possible.
Emergency Appendectomy
When disaster strikes, make sure that your health insurance has you covered. An emergency surgery, like an appendectomy, can set you back up to $28,000. With a QHP through Nevada Health Link, emergency services are covered under the 10 Essential Health Benefits. You won’t have to worry about coverage or in-network hospitals when an emergency happens.
Concussion
You never know when roughhousing is taken a little too far. Concussions–and their aftermath–are a serious consequence of contact sports. Treatment of a concussion can run up to $18,454. Don’t let a lack of health insurance dictate how you treat your brain–it’s far too important.
