morningdew 9 Posted July 13, 2013 Hi everyone! I'm from Philly as well. Just starting on my journey. I'm going to HUP and my surgeon will be Dr. Williams. Can't wait! Anyone have Independence Blue Cross Personal Choice and has had the surgery? Just trying to get a feel for what the approval process will be like. 1 Roserie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
