I called insurance today to checkin and see if I had another approval waiting, and sure enough there it was! Of course, when I then called my surgeon's office they were cold and snotty again and told me they have to wait for the fax or letter to schedule. But oh well. The biggest presurgery hurdle I was worrying about is done.

On another note, has anyone gone through the approval process with insurance and then switched surgeon/facility? Almost every time I talk to these people I think about doing just that, but am not sure how complicated that would be.

I haven't yet but I likely will have to soon. I'm having surgery 8/7 and switching jobs and insurance sept 1st. I'm contemplating paying for 6 months just to do all the initial follow up at the same office. But I don't know if that's going to work. I actually like my surgeon and the team. I'll let you know how it goes if I do end up switching.

Congrats! Great news

Whooo hoooo! Congrats

Thanks everybody! They called bright and early this morning to schedule surgery for August 26th. Hopefully I have to deal with the office staff as little as possible from here on out. I just want this part of the process to be over with.
