My surgery is scheduled for this saturday and I have yet to get approved. I started my pre op diet and would hate to have done it to get denied. I feel as if I want to reschedule to a date after I get approved. Has anyone got approval right before their surgery date?

I didn't get a date until I had approval. Hope it works out for you!

Thank you, I figured that was smarter but my surgeon said I'll have no issues. I'll probably call and postpone until I hear back from my insurance. Thanks!

Why not just give your insurance a call and ask the status of the Authorization?

I did and all I was told was that it's pending.

My surgery date was set for yesterday and I was denied again on Tues. So frustrating. My surgeon wants to appeal. I'm ready to just be done with all the BS here and head to Mexico. I'd actually pay less there then my out of pocket with insurance here!

What inspired do u have
My surgery date is the 28th of this month I am so nervous and I have Blue Cross and Blue Shield I hope they don't do that to me

So sorry to hear that. I had to reschedule due to a family member passing. Still waiting for approval. Was told I should hear something next week. If you can, you should do another appeal before deciding to go to Mexico. I'm sure it's frustrating. Good luck

Nope! Still waiting and insurance is still saying pending. I was told today I can call Monday and speak to the pre certification staff because they are not there on the weekends. Wish I knew that was an option I would have done that yesterday.
