Throughout Kent's entire illness, we had excellent insurance through an individual policy with Assurant Health for our family.

A friend, fellow church member and former co-worker of Kent's recently posted 5 Tips for Dealing with Medical Debt on his blog. This is a good read for those who are grappling with how to pay for surgeries, treatments and routine appointments for scans and check-ups.
