Woohoo!

That's awesome!! Congrats! I'm sure it feels great and a surgery date around the corner

Yay!!! I hope you get your date today!!

I didn't get my date today as the surgery scheduler did not come in!

@sramos89--first I work for the insurance carrier but that doesn't make a difference. What I did was get a copy of the medical policy, followed all the requirements before going in to see the surgeon. Then I added this ( because I am an old OR nurse) had my annual physical scheduled a week before the surgeon & asked her to clear me for surgery. She did the annual EKG & Chest x-ray & got the report to me so I had it in hand. I had also had the psych eval & got that to him.

Now if I can just get a date!

You are very smart! I pulled the medical policy too and knew I had it that is why the waiting was killing me- worried they would find something I missed but I didn't know how- it was so clear! anyway, I am good now and got approved this afternoon. I didn't wait for a letter, I had them fax me the approval and I emailed it to them! Are you having your surgery at Forest Park? I am using Dr. Barker at Forest Park. I live in Lubbock and he has opened a new office here so we just go there for the surgery and all of the pre and post is here. Thank you for your help!
