Still Waiting

[acm21_ 20]

Hello, how exactly do we know if we were approved for the surgery? Do we receive a phone call or a letter in the mail? I recently had my endoscopy and I have a follow up appointment coming in the next few days. I am very excited to start this journey. I'm becoming very anxious waiting. What is the next step? I also go back to college tomorrow! I'm beyond ready to start this... I'm going to start going the gym to lose pre surgery weight.

Approved by insurance? Give them a call - or call your surgeon's office. I wouldn't have known if I didn't call.

I called so I knew right away, but I also got a letter in the mail a few days later so I would have known from the letter if I hadn't called first. Once I got the letter from insurance I called the Dr office to make them fit me in ASAP

My surgeons office took care of it all with the insurance company... Once I completed all requirements they submitted my package and I got an approval in two days.

I would speak with a Manager. That's inexcusable.

I am definitely in agreement with you that will be my first call tomorrow!
