I was full steam ahead with a surgeon in Dallas, did all the hoops, had a surgery date set and then found out they are engaged in insurance fraud. So needless to say the brakes went on fast and hard....

I am now going through another surgeon and having to get re-approved through Aetna. They haven't changed their policy bulletin, and waiting for them to re-approve it. This Dr. is in network and such, so I would think it should be just a formality, but still worried I guess.

Anyone have to get re-approved? Had any problems? Anyone who could share their experiences or people they know would be greatly appreciated. Aetna has had my information since Monday and waiting......

Fortunately, called Aetna and it was re-approved at 1:53pm this afternoon. I find it ironic that I know before my Dr. office.

I don't get it though. The first time this was approved- that Dr. office knew the same day. This new Dr.'s office outsources to this one lady who does a lot of things @ss backwards. My new Dr.'s office won't let me schedule a surgery date until this lady they outsourced to do the insurance "tells" them it's approved.

My first call in the morning will be to this lady who submitted the insurance request. I'd like to get a surgery date set tomorrow.
