You will be just fine

You will be just fine . Have your meds ready for pick up on the way. You driver of course...

Hi - I received the same from my provider BC/BS NJ - Horizon. I called Barix and they informed me that this means I am approved since ambulatory stay is up to and including 23 hours. From the time I am admitted to my room, barring complications, I'll be out in less than 23 hours.

I stayed overnight, but my surgery was around 3:00 on Tueday and I was released by noon on Wednesday.
