Insurance Question

Hi Guys. I am in the process of getting all my tests done. I have to schedule a psycho. evaluation. I have my blood work exam coming up, my sleep study next month, as well as my nuclear stress test. Anyway My question is that I am a Long term Sub.. with the Philadelphia school district. I have Keystone Health Plan East. Becuse I am a sub, My medical benefits end on 6-30-05. If my surgery is before then I am not worried. However I am worried that do to the amout of tests I have to do, My surgery date might be after 6-30-05. Is there a way I can extend my medical coverage? Is there a program out there that I can pay out of pocket to still have medical coverage???? When OR if I am approved for this surgery, does this approval hold no matter when you get the surgery ?? Thank You

Terrance, I was in this position at one time too - The district I was in allowed me to continue my coverage with them in the summers, but I had to pay the full portion - it was a lot, but just for 2.5 months....better than having nothing! Good luck...Amy
