  9. DandeeD, awesome! I love them both. They have an amazing demeanor about them! Im waiting on insurance approval from my 2msecondary. I should be having surgery in about 2 weeks!
  10. Thats exactly what I have. Everything is in writing.Im in nj, thats how my particular insurance works. Thanks for the tips too! I've been speaking with insurance for several months prior.I had it down to a science. For some reason Horizon NJ will does not require a pre-auth

  12. Finally after 1 month! I will be gettir my surgery date. Office manager was blown away byb the unprofessional attitude of the surgical scheduler! She said being as though I got denied by primary, secondars will not pre authorize. All I do is submit the eob from primary with claim and secondary pays the entire bill. Woooo hoooo! Always advocate for yourself. Never take no for an answer.
  13. Spoke with my surgical dept. And she basically told me se has no clue whats going on. Im beyond irritated! Its been a month as of tomorrow since my paperwork. I cant believe their office is handleing my surgery this way. If it wasn't for the fact that I did everything thorough them, I would be switching to a new office. I have less then 2 weeks before im bk in school to finish my last semester as a graduate student. I was told I'd have my surgery well before then. Ahhhhhhh. Im ready to pull my hair out. I don't want to seem like a bitch but jeez.
  14. Can you believe im stilk waiting too. Ive been calling my secondary everyday and my doctors have not reacehw out to them. I am on a tight deadline. Im calling my drs in a fee. Praying we get answers soon
