@Ree224 I had my surgery at Memorial Hospital of Salem (AKA Salem Hospital) in woodstown - its a small hospital but the care the staff gave was awesome! how excited are you?

This was the best thing i could have ever done for myself...

Very excited. I have been working on this for almost a year. I wish I could hop on the table tomorrow. I am looking forward to this next part of my life. I know it will not be easy but it's got to be better...lol. How is your journey going?

Hi congrats on the start of your journey. Where are you having your surgery?

My insurance requires I use a COE and the closest one is Atlanticare in AC. I've met with the dr once.

At least your insurance will pay for the surgery. Do you at least like him?

sorry to hear that you were turned down. See if there is an appeal process due to medical necessities.

I have KHPE and they are covering my surgery. Does your plan have a specific exclusion? Ask your surgeon's office for the procedure code and call member services and have them look up that specific code. Good luck!
