Finally Submitted

[heavendly06 72]

I started this journey in October 2012. This has been a strenuous process! There have been a lot of ups and downs and I hope they were worth it! I'm a state employee and this is their first year covering WLS. I had a 6 month weight management program requirement with 3 months being consecutive. My physicians office is unsure of what the insurance's mindset is regarding approval as there has been a lot of back and forth surrounding the requirements! I'm praying that God sees me through this 2 week waiting period!

I got and email from insurance coordinator today starting that my request for surgery wasn't submitted until today! She stated that there were technical difficulties that stopped her from submitting on 03/06/13. She didn't state what those technical difficulties were....so it's my guess that she just didn't submit as promised! It's only been a few hours since submitting and I'm overly anxious! I'm counting down the days until I hear the word approved!

I called the insurance today and they were able to confirm the receipt of my pre-determination. I was told that my clinical information has been assigned to a nurse for review. The customer service rep encouraged me to be patient...insisting that approvals/denials are usually done within a 24-48 hours.
