You can file later if you want - yes it's easier now, but not impossible later.
If, however, you can tally up 50%+ and get concurrent receipt with stuff your AME is happy with, I'd go for it because that's a different risk/reward ratio.
It's just not that $30 a month, but the fact that the Government is responsible for treating that injury for the rest of your life. Meaning if it requires an operation later in life, it is all paid for which could save you tens of thousands.
