Hospital bill for a three-day stay: $24,000
Surgery for broken leg: $5000
Prescription drugs outside the hospital: $300

In addition, Margo could not work for one month and lost $4000 in earnings.

Margo would like a different surgeon with an outstanding professional reputation to perform the operation. The surgeon is not a member of the PPO network. Will Margo’s plan pay for the surgery?
