I hope to be in the May club.
I started this decision last fall. Got a surgeon, met, started therapy, got PCP on board who sent paperwork, psych clearance...was on my way.
Then jump to me changing surgeons. Long story. If you want it, I got it.
Had to wait a month to get in there...then she cancelled and rescheduled for Feb.
About same time, due to a change in jobs, our insurance is changing and that surgical team/hospital is not covered. I have to start over.
Thus, my third "first" appointment for a surgery date and list of whatever the new insurance wants to do list, is March 17th. I am not sure if the new doc or the new insurance will accept any of the previously done work or not. I may be handed a whole new punch list of testing to get done. Did I mention I meet my brand new PCP the week prior and need to get a new authorization'/referral from her? I have no worries about qualifying. But jeez.
I am hoping I can be fast tracked given I've been a this and get in there by May, June the latest. The surgery center and docs have the whole story and will help. My only hold up could be if new insurance has some 6 months wait clause like some do. I won't know the ins and outs of that until Tuesday but it doesn't appear that's an issue for my insurance. *fingerscrossed*
