:help: After an insurance company gives you an approval does any know if there is a time limit before it expires.

Good question... In my case I had to postpone my band surgery 3 or 4 times. As long as I called and kept them informed on my new surgery date they were happy. Call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask for the care coordinator - they should be able to tell you for sure.

Thanks for your reply. I asked because my daughter in college wants the surgery and has to try and do it around her schedule or after the graduation in May. She will be off my ins in August so I would like it done ASAP. She has a consultation next month during her spring break. BarbaraC :confused:
