For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? (sh.itjust.works)

Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!

I mean, sure, but if it detects something and there's no reason to suspect it's necessarily cancerous, then I'd hope doctors would recommend just keeping an eye on it and possibly scheduling periodic checkups to ensure it doesn't continue growing. No competent doctor is going to recommend invasive surgery right off the bat.
