In regards to insurance... DAN insurance is covering everything... every doctors visit, all prescriptions, etc., 100% with no deductible. I have to pay the full amount up front and then get reimbursed, but still, that's fantastic. I'm in a 30 day rut right now between health insurance companies, so I don't have any health insurance. Apparently if you have insurance, DAN covers what your health insurance doesn't.

The doctors visit alone was $70... just for him to look in my ear and give me a referral. I can just imagine what a specialist visit will cost, and the procedure of draining the ear. A few years ago, I got 2 stitches on a small cut on my hand, and it was $750...

So DAN insurance has already saved me double what I paid for it. Hell of a good deal.
Good to know that it covers where you insurance doesn't.........
