I called my Patient Care Coordinator this morning about a status update; she said she should hear something from the insurance tomorrow. I thought, awesome, wow, tomorrow!! I told her "alrighty Brenda, I'll give you a call Wednesday!"
About an hour later, I'm going through the mail and there is something for me from my insurance, I'VE BEEN APPROVED! Or at least that's the impression I'm getting. I'm not sure what to do, do I call my PCC back? Do I just wait til tomorrow? Nope, I couldn't wait til tomorrow to call her again, so I called back, got her voicemail and I left her a message.
She FINALLY called me back about 3 hours later and I read some of the information on the letter. Once I read the line that said my hospital stay was "medically necessary", she said "well, it looks like they did approve you!"
I noticed on the letter it said October 24th, and she said "can you come in that day for surgery?" I paused for a second, panicking, because THAT IS THIS FRIDAY! But I told her that it was too short of a notice to give my boss, and then she said "what about October 31st? So, long story short..that's the big day!!
Pre-op on Monday the 27th, surgery on the 31st at 9:30am (must show up by 7:30), and I already have my first two post-op appointments scheduled.
WOW WOW WOW!! So much has gone on today.

Awesome!
I hope you find out soon. My patient care coordinator told me on Monday that she was hoping to submit my paperwork by thursday, so I hope to hear something by next week! I have Anthem BC and one of the reps told me they have to respond within 5 business days.

Amazing, congratulations!!!

Just checking in..
I'm so happy for those of you who have been approved! Good luck with your surgery and your journey after!
My PCC is still missing some blood work results, and THAT'S IT! I called the local hospital I got the lab work done at, and asked them to re-fax all of my results again. This is the ONLY thing that my surgeon needs; the results for everything else have been received, talk about frustrating! Grrr!!

Congratulations Annisa!

Congratulations Annisa!

You look great!! Awesome job

Congratulations, Becca!!
My boss asked me once again if I have a surgery date yet, and I told him ONCE AGAIN that I won't know anything until everything is submitted to the insurance company. Geez, men are so impatient!! lol. I am heading to the gynecologist this Friday, and then I'm done.

You look great!! Awesome job

I have two appointments left (endoscopy & pap smear), and I'm done!! I was told my insurance has up to 5 business days to say yes or no.
Good luck to everyone!!!
