Waiting Game...

Met with my surgeon 3 weeks ago... passed my psych eval 2 weeks ago... FINALLY received all of my medical records this past Monday... And now we are waiting to hear back from my insurance provider on if I'm approved. Anyone out there have United Healthcare Deere Primere? Just wondering how long it is going to take to hear back...

      That is frustrating for both of you. Keep in mind that soon it will be all behind you and will be losing weight and starting a new life, this is but a blip on your road to your new journey. Keep up

    Good idea. I'll try to call them tomorrow. The number I have for my plan is our company's insurance liaison Accolade. They are great at helping get things approved paid etc but they only can see what's been processed.
