Waiting for approval

  • Popular Post

My paperwork has finally been sent to insurance for approval. I have worked so hard to make sure I got everything exactly how the insurance company and surgeons office requested. I'm so anxious waiting, I want an answer so I can get a date! I could use any good thoughts and positive vibes you can spare that I get approved and don't have to wait long to find out!

Now I'm just waiting for a date. My insurance approval said I was approved for an admission date of 5-22, does anyone know if that's just an informal date the surgeons office gives to get approval, or will that be my date?

I'm dying to know!

Congrats! I got my approval from my insurance company today, as well! Just waiting to hear from my surgeon's office.

WOOHOO! High fives all around!!

I think the 5/22 is when your approval is officially begins to be valid, then you have a 6 month window to get it done. I have a different insurance though, so I'm not sure how yours works. I could be completely wrong!

I'm such a huge dork. I want you to go on 5/31 too so we can be surgery buddies! ;)

I would love for it to be on 5/31! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I still didn't hear from them today, I called and left a message this morning. I'm so frustrated with how slow they move!

Good luck, I hope you hear back and get good news!

Thanks to all!



5/22 for me! Hoping you get an answer soon!
