Insurance approved!!

Just got my surgery date last week for 5/2/11. They short-scheduled it for me because I have a week then with no work obligations. The surgeon's office just submitted the paperwork to my insurance company last Friday, but I got the call today (4/20) that I have been approved. It seems very much more real now, as there are no obstacles left. I have been in the program since last September, and it seemed to take forever, but now it is full speed ahead. Woo hoo!

My process was going very slow until the end and then everything was speeding by. I had seven days notice for the actual surgery.

Congrats on your approval ... I am very excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!

NICE!!! Mine was paid for 100% too, Anthem Blue Cross/CA. Just received my bill or co-pay from Good Samaritan San Jose. Out of pocket was $168, and they charged $17,000! Thank God for insurance. Best of luck with your journey.

My dr is having to appeal my medicaid ins plan for my surgical revision sleeve procedure. It has been one frustration after another, but I have some medical issues that need this intervention, so am hoping to get an auth soon to have surgery scheduled. Like you, I have been dring since Sept of last yr. Had a RNY 10 yrs ago, but that needs this revision. Good luck! Will be looking forward to your progress report.
