Hello and welcome... Well i'm here in Philadelphia and the surgeons office stated they are waiting on a submission date for paper work because Medicare does not pre approve anything they need another guarantee that they will cover the surgery other than the Memo they posted on their Web site. She also stated it could take 60_90 days for a date.. I know bummer!! Sent from my SPH-D710 using VST
