I finally received THE LETTER!!

:banana Woo Hoo !!! Hot diggity!! My insurance co (UHC) has finally sent the letter "...pleased to inform you that coverage is available..." Oh My Gosh!! I am thrilled beyond belief. I'm grinning from ear to ear. :biggrin1: I was so upset last Friday when my Drs office called to say my secondary insurance turned me down - they classified the LB procedure as investigational - but I"m not suprised because the company my husband works for is self-insured. They don't pay doodly.

But mine said YES...YES...YES...YES... Now I just have to follow up with my Drs office to schedule everything. Maybe if I'm lucky (and I have been so far) I'll be set to go in a few weeks. What a load off my mind this is.

Thanks for listening.... I just had to share. I've been reading these boards now for several months praying that my turn would come. And it has. :dance:

My time has come, life is good.

Thanks everyone!! I'm 'one of those' who have decided not to tell (except for DH) so it's really really nice to have this outlet.

Love you guys.
