Have your doctor call them. Sometimes when the doctor talks to them they are able to get it approved.

Well, today has been very emotional. I called the dr to see if they had heard from the insurance company and they had. My insurance denied it. The waterworks started. The girl told me the doctor was going to call them at 3 to talk to them. He did and at 3:15 I got the call that I had been approved. My surgery is December 31st. What a way to bring in the new year. I am thinking about all of you. I go in Monday for my pre-opt appt with my doctor. I am excited and nervous about this new journey I am about to start.

I too am waiting for approval. Mine was sent off on Monday and they told me it was 3-4 day working day turn around. I have Cigna HMO and they cover 100% if you do what they ask and I have, but still nervous that they will not appove it. I have to have mine by the end of this year because insurance is not going to cover it next year. I am making myself sick worrying about it.
