Short-term disability benefits are not available from Social Security or elsewhere in the federal government. If you are disabled less than a year, you canât collect Social Security disability or SDI. A few states do have programs granting employees paid short-term disability benefits when they temporarily canât work. The states differ on the size of the benefit (itâs a portion of your salary, typically two-thirds) and how long youâll receive benefits (a maximum of six to twelve months).
Even though trigger finger release surgery is relatively minor and is performed on an outpatient basis, in the United States, the cost of trigger finger surgery may average $700 to $900, depending on the finger, the severity of the contraction, and your geographical location.
However, patients from other American states as well as Canada and Europe may still benefit. If your American doctor is quoting the Lasik surgery at $2500 per eye, thatâs $5000. If the cost of Lasik surgery in Tijuana is only $1000 per eye, thatâs $2000. The cost of travel will depend largely on your travel style, but it is very reasonable to assume that you can travel and stay in Tijuana for less than $1000 during your surgery.
