I was approved by my insurance )Anthem BCBS CA) for the surgery!! But it wasn't without headache...
I called my surgeon's coordinator on 2/28 to confirm that she had sent in my paperwork to insurance. Come to find out, she said my paperwork wasn't eligible to be submitted until MARCH 28th, which is a month after the original submission date I had been told during my 6 months. The coordinator said she'd send it in a month early anyway and see what happens.
Well, she sent it in to my insurance on 2/29 and I called insurance today to verify it had been received and they told me they received it and approved it!! It only took 2 days for approval. I was so shocked.
Now I'm waiting to schedule my surgery date and begin all of the lovely pre-op procedures
