you can go to the hosptial or facility where you are going tohave it and ask them for a cash discount. they should be able to give you the price that they get form insurances. most incurances dont pay full price they have contracts with the hosptials . i know at our facility blue cross blue shield only pays 35 cents on the dollar for everything. so you should be able to get the same price . doenst hurt to ask. is it painful? if it is painful then definatley you should take care of it . also what was themechanism of injury? did it just pop ut for no reason , that too would be a warning sign. can you walk does ti interfere with daily tasks? how big is it has it changed at all. there are so many vairables but if you are worried about it ir if it is preventing you from. dialy activity you should definatley figure out a way to have it.
