B-52 7,113 Posted February 14, 2012 Some insurances, it is not a question if you will be approved. It is a procedure they will cover. All that is needed is that meet the criteria. My Dr's office told me at the initial visit, my insurance will pay. I njust needed to complete all the pre-reqisites. On the day they got the last report, my surgery was scheduled.
