Almost about to be sent out !

I'm so excited and nervous!!! Finally finally finally this time has come to where my 6 months can be sent out to insurance.

I got a little side tracked since I had Emergency surgery on getting my appendix removed in Sept 13', so that set me back and I had complications after for a month. Finally got over that and got better. Yay!!

But this past monday my primary care dr forgot to add Cleared for Surgery on the letter. Which for my insurance ( Cigna ), you have to have "cleared and recommend for surgery" in the letter. So had to go yesterday and talk to the surgeons office and then go downstairs to my primary care dr to write a note on what needed to be added. Then got a call this morning on the way to work that they had added cleared for surgery in the letter and had faxed it over to my surgeons office!! YAY!!

Then this afternoon got a call about from my insurance coordinator about how everything is all set and that the only thing is now is to have my surgeon review everything for me then it will go off to insurance !!

Now the wait begins for everything to be reviewed by my surgeon and sent off!!! I'm getting excited!!

I know the feeling. My info was sent in last friday (13th) and the waiting game has been killing me....everyday I get on the computer to chat with a representative to check the progress and it's still pending/being reviewed

Yay! Good luck! Cigna was very quick to respond in my case. Hope they are in yours!

I just had my last visit and my surgeon said they will be submitting around 12/27/2013, I know the feeling of excitement. I wish you luck and let us know once you get a response.
