    I'm going to sound crazy. I call it the pre-op cray cray. Here's my question:

    My pre-authorization is due Thursday am (72 hours from when it was submitted, per insurance's timeline). Then they MAIL it to my surgeon. Snail mail. Like it's 1929.

    So can I call my insurance Thursday, find out if I was approved and then call the surgeon's office to speed things up? Is this abnormal behavior?

    Thanks for any insight or tips.

    I called my insurance company and chatted live with them every couple of days. So call them.. The least they can do is tell you they can't say. But most will tell you!!
