So far it has been pretty easy. I had my seminar at the end of April and my first surgeon appointment about 2 weeks later. Dr. Ferring has been very kind and was easy to talk to. The staff has been working like a well oiled machine which really helps things to move along smoothly. I have TriWEST prime they only have a few requirements for approval. I meet those requirements I also had to have a psych evaluation and a letter from my PCM stating the necessity for the surgery. All paperwork was submitted on July 5 so we will see what happens from here....
