Yesterday I received a phone call from the surgeons office to set up an appt.. i called back this morning to find out what the appt was for and when i could get in - the nurse said that itwould be for my first consultation .. She said that BCBS/IL does cover 80% of my surgery and the consult would be to go over my general health and to discuss whtat BCBS/IL would need me to do in order to cover the cost of the surgery. I couldn't get in to see the surgeon until 02/25/09- that is about 1 month from now, so until then, i will be waiting to hear more. I guess I am on my way and i know there is still a very long way to go!:cheatfree:
