I am March 11th! Good Luck!

I just got a date of 3/11/13. That is coming up quick! My paperwork is currently under review by Anthem. I didn't have a surgery date, so I called and ask when my patient coordinator thought it would be and she went ahead and scheduled me right away. I will be taking FMLA paid and need to get my paperwork done ASAP. I am kinda glad its so quick because I don't have time to worry.

Better you find out now so that you can start making necessary adjustments. That is one of my fears. A guy that I was dating asked me not to get surgery! It was almost offensive. When I went to the psych eval, the therapist explained that there are some people who would rather you stay larger because in some way or another, it makes them feel better. You are doing what you need to do for yourself...and that is all that matters! Good riddance!

Congrats! I didn't realize how excited I would be about such a seemingly small step. I pray that you have a speedy approval :-D

I actually went ahead and call pre-authorization today...they said my paperwork had just been received today and I didn't even have a claim number. I had been going back and forth with my surgeons office...so I wanted to be sure it had been sent. I was told it would be done Wednesday, I asked her to let me know when it was submitted. Hadnt heard from her by friday, called back then and she said was would fax it that day. The rep for Anthem was really nice and told me to call back either tmw or thr next day to get my claim number...she can bet I will!

This thread has helped me a lot! My coordinator said she was submitting Friday. I have Anthem Blue Cross. I've been checking their site to see if I see the claim. After reading this I will be calling pre-certification tomorrow. Thanks for the info
