I should hear about approval or denial from my insurance company by Friday. Does anyone know anything about insurance procedures? I call them every day to check the status and they say the projected date is January 21st...does that mean if approved that would be my date, or does my surgeon's office just pull a date out of their ass because they have to? lol. I'm wondering if that's the date I'll get if approved. Anyone know?

Probably depends on the Insurance company. My Insurance company stated a date for the surgery but the Drs. office changed it based on his availability. Once approved I think it can be schedule on a more convenient basis for patient and Dr.

My insurance also had to have a "dummy" date. Once I got my approval I was able to reschedule to my convenience. good luck!
