It took forever for the surgeon to submit my info to Anthem BC, but yay, it was approved the same day!!! Now I won't sleep until Monday when I call to schedule my date!

First they build you up, then they tear you down...so excited to get approved, then when I called to get my date, the first date available is mid-January! Besides a new deductible, I've got a second job that starts in January. Either I get it done in Nov-Dec or I wait until May 2013. They can't even book me that far out, but in order to be on the cancellation list I have to be booked. They also won't book me for a date that I have no intention in keeping. If I change doctors in the same practice, I have to start many things over again. The scheduler is going to check with someone else to see if there's a date that she doesn't see, but I suspect that I'm going to hear the same news whenever they get back to me. I'm frustrated (and voiced it) that if the package had been sent to insurance back when it was supposed to be, that I'd have a date that will work. All along, everyone there had said that the lead time was only a couple of weeks.

Now the question is, do I look for another practice that can get me in at this late date?

Another day, a whole lot better answer. They found a date for me on Dec 6 at 12:30!

Lucky you! It was an 11 month process for me. But once it was all done and it was turned into my insurance it took only 8 days to get my approval.
