Insurance Approval

I just received a letter from my insurance company (Capital Blue Cross). It says I've been approved for services which they agree are medically necessary. However, the requested services/procedures just says "inpatient admission". It doesn't even list the provider whom requested the auth. I'm pretty sure this means I'm approved. Anyone else get a letter like this which was non-specific? Guess I'm just so scared somebody is going to tell me I can't have the Sleeve done.

Smells like a approval. Call them Tmmw to get more details.

The insurance company not the doc

My nurse called and told me I was approved. She said they spent 5 hours on the phone with insurance and the last time I called I was told my plan didn't cover bariatrics. So I'm not calling because they are idiots.

Make sure no loophole clauses in the letter about benefits
