I called my insurance yesterday (6/10) and got the run around. They told me that they are still showing nor authorization and that my surgeon's office has to call the insurance medical management team. My surgeon's office mailed the request for predetermination letter to ins. on 6/2 so I will wait until Monday, call again and then go from there. I am so anxious though. I just want to know NOW so I can get my surgery scheduled.

i completely understand the anxiety you are having just waiting to hear the great news. I'm so thankful we go on vacation tomorrow or else i think i would literally make myself sick with worry about "if I don't get approved." I already talked to my husband and told him i think it will crush me if i don't get approved, he simply said you cant let it crush you we will get this done one way or another. It rocks having your best friend stand beside you through all the trails of life:) I know that Monday seems eons away but I will keep you in my prayers. all the best to you
