For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? (sh.itjust.works)

Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!

Shop around if you don't like your GP. Tell them your situation and ask them for a referal to every specialist under the sun. Get tested and innoculated for absolutely everything they suggest.

Referrals AND a new patient appointment in less than 3 months? You're dreaming.

Fortunately i do not need referrals on my plan. So I can definitely get to the specialists. Ortho and Gastro are first up.

That's awesome man! I'm sorry for whatever made you hit your out of pocket max but I'm glad you're planning to take full advantage of this gravy train.

Don’t be sorry at all. It was Inspire surgery, for sleep apnea. Absolutely worth it.

Yea that's a good point. I guess I'm living in fairy tale land considering meeting mandatory minimum and deductible 🤣 A boy can dream
