Yesssss! Sorry if I drove anyone crazy but I felt crazy, lol, having to wait from july 20th until today...to get my surgeons office to send my info to bcbs!

Today, I told my surgeon that I was looking for a different surgeon and ... an hour later I received flowers at my door, an hour after that I got an apology and a penciled in date and an hour after that I got an approval

Tuesday...the 16th of August

So happy but so scared bit more happy...thanks for all the support and advice

Believe it or not (in my case) the insurance company felt terrible for me bc I kept calling them to see if the office had faxed them my information. My case manager at bcbs was the one that went out of her way to call me and congratulate me personally. We got to know each other through this process. The nice thing was that I became a person, a name and not a case number. I love bcbs they helped me more than the office staff did.

Some times a little perseverance and persistence on your part works wonders. Congrats, I will bet that the surgeon's office will be a little more careful who the PO next time! Karen
