WOOT WOOT FINALLY MOVING FORWARD

I am so freaking excited I finally got the pre auth approved to have my consultation with my surgeon. You read that right I had to get pre auth just to get the consultation.

My insurance company Meritus covers my surgery. However, they have no in network bariatric surgeons. How that happens I have no clue. So just to get my consultation I had to get a referral and pre auth. I was ready to just start putting money together to go to Mexico which I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO DO.

I have been trying to get auth to get the ball rolling since March. My doctors office told me that they would deny it and they had never had anyone get approved to get the consult. I told the insurance lady I would be the first because I am a fighter. I called today and was told they approved. I called my doctor to make sure they had record of the approval as well and the lady was like "I was just going to call you mija you won I can not believe it".

I know I am going to have to get auth approved again to actually have surgery but at least now I can get the ball rolling. My consult is scheduled for next Wednesday and I am so excited!!
