My paperwork, anyway. I faxed it to the center this afternoon. My doctors should have faxed my records to them by now, since I saw all of them last week and asked them to write letters for me (I managed to catch a cold for my trouble, also. Damn doctors' offices.:sick) Hopefully everything will be sent out to my insurance company soon, because I want to have surgery at the end of the year. For one, it would be a marvelous Christmas present to myself. Two, my deductible is paid for 2006. Save money anywhere you can, I always say. Three, I want as much time to recover as possible before the spring semester starts at my university, mainly because I am afraid of having a wacky reaction to the anesthesia. When my mom had both knees replaces, she had a weird reaction, and wasn't the same, memory and stamina-wise for a couple of months after the surgery. That is what really scares me the most. I have to really concentrate and stay on track next semester if I expect to get my Master's in May.

Good luck, Laurend! Do yourself a favor and follow up on the submission. With time being so important you don't want even a couple of days to be wasted because someone didn't get a fax. Just call your carrier and ask if they have received the request for precert and whether any information is missing.

Fingers are crossed for you!!

My fingers are crossed too! Who is your insurer?
