Worried

I am so worried right now. I am scheduled next week, March 19th. I am already off work etc. However I have not been approved by insurance yet. I called yesterday and it is being processed, they said. What do I do? I am stressing out. If I cannot do it the 19th, then it will never be done. My job states its my only opportunity. Please pray and hope for approval.

Thank you,

Serena

Why will it be your only opportunity?

We are short three people. And I work in Cath Lab which requires 24hr call as well as working 5 days a week. Its complicated getting of work in healthcare

@@Rtbrewer2 I'm really surprised your surgeon's office scheduled your surgery without prior approval. It's awesome that they did if your approval comes through. Is there anything that might cause you to be denied? I wasn't even aware my doc's office had submitted to my insurance until after they received my approval. That's when they called to set up my pre-op and surgery date. I had to pass nicotine test before my surgeon would do it and I thought they wouldn't submit till after my last test, but they did it before which is why I didn't know about it. Even though I didn't know about it, I was 99.9% certain I would be approved because I followed my medical insurance policy to a T with the requirements. Have you confirmed you met all the pre-reqs?

Good Luck! Praying it all works out for you.

Ya. I meet all requirements. Just waiting to here. They scheduled my procedure because I work at the hospital I'm having it at. Really just courtesy from the Dr. I work with him.
