This is it folks, last step tomorrow! Going for my psych eval, then I can schedule surgery. Hopefully for some time in May! This has been a whirlwind journey, it's been less than a month since my initial consult appointment with my surgeon (Dr. Jawad, Ocala, Fl). I am so excited!!!

YAY!!! You are so there!!!! Depending on how long it takes the Psych to prepare his report and submit to Dr. Jawad. Once his office gets everything and submits to your insurance it could be a matter of days. It was for me. The day my info was submitted to UHC at 3:15 and by 5:30 the same day I had my approval. Then the next day I had my pre op appt and my surgery date. His staff is so quick to get things moving!!!!! It is all down hill from here. Good luck!!!

Thanks Deb!

I am actually one of the lucky few, and I don't need pre-auth, once my requirements are met, I schedule surgery, and then after surgery my claim gets submitted!

I absolutely cannot wait!!!!
