My daughter had this. We took her to see a specialist when she was 6 months and then followed up every six months. She patched and worn glasses for a couple of years and finally had the surgery around age three. I think her doctor wanted to see if she would correct on her own. I don't know if all cases are like this but they were really reluctant to perform surgery on her as an infant. She was born with her eye turning and it just got progressively worse. Anyway as far as cost I don't remember. Generally deductibles are calendar year and COBRA is generally marked up. I hope this helps!

You should be able to ask the billing group what costs to expect/ plan for and run the numbers. You'll have to talk to your HR about cobra costs- hey are expensive but I noticed they went down a lot in the last few years (between my mat leave and when I left my job they seems much more affordable- not sure of the ACA had anything to do with that) but in the end that's what I'd do- get cost quotes from the doctors and find out about cobra options and costs and compare.

@codeitall: Glad to hear it worked out. This sounds like the route we took with my daughter! I hope it corrects and you don't have to have surgery, but if you do it's not so bad. Just prepare yourself for crazy red eyeballs!
