pre-op in massachusetts. looking for a buddy

[lifer 38]

Well i found out today why my insurance has not received my pre OP authorization yet. Apparently my insurance requires anesthesia to clear me for surgery before insurance will approve it. So currently my file is with the anesthesia office waiting for their approval before it can be sent to insurance. I dislike all this waiting

That shouldn't take long:)

How long has it been since you got the insurance approval?

[nikkimarieislove 7]

I don't know if I got the insurance approval. Do they send it in the mail? I'm just worried cause I'm a stay at home mom with two kids under 3 and my only help is my mom and sister and in September they go back to school so I needed it in august. Plus I can't pick my kids up for 3 weeks and I cannot drive for a week so it's gonna be hard if I'm by myself.

I started my classes July 8, called insurance company yesterday and they still have not received my claim yet. Giving the office a few more days as i know my insurance required anesthesia to sign off before they would approve.

What's the anesthesia thing haven't heard of that before. I was inpatient and called them didn't wait for them Lol

I went to the nurse class last Friday and asked why my insurance hadn't reviewed anything yet. I was told they require anesthesia to review my file and say that they will do anesthesia on me. Idk if its any other insurance companies or not. also not sure what anesthesia us looking for

Call your insurance and find out if they had sent it in yet if not call the office and be a pain that's how it will get done sooner if your quiet your folder might be overlooked. I didn't wait I kept calling and got a sooner date
