That would be my thought too.
Besides, if they don't have to remove titanium, they avoid more expensive hospital work which saves them money.

I called up the doctor's office to ask, and am waiting for them to call me back.

Just so you know,
unpaid medical pills do not show up as a negative on your credit report. It shows up as a "warn".
If you keep the credit in good order, and pay a minimum on the medical bills, you're credit score is only affected by literally less than 10 points.

hopefully I won't get in that much trouble.
On the plus side, I've found out that it will be titanium and that they'll only take the screws out if they become a problem.
