As I’m like you, not 65 yet, so the insurance plan I have is FL Blue Select Silver (HSA) 1442. It costs about $725.00 a month. My plan was to continue to see my specialist up north as all my family is there. However as the saying goes “ we plan, God laughs”. I also did remicade infusions in the late 90’s. But stopped when my crohns went into remission. Probably shouldn’t have.

So After a year of not being able to return to my doctors up north do to the pandemic, and having a my first major flair of Crohns in almost 15years ,the GI that I was referred to here in the Villages, was not able/willing to help me. After he did a colonoscopy! So I had to do my own research a find a new GI doctor.on So I’m going to try a GI in Tampa at USF. Have an appointment on at end of April! Praying relief of pain and return to better health.
