Just a Whiny Vent ("My New Insurance")

Will do!

It's worth the wait. I had to wait 3 long years before finally being able to get surgery at Stanford. Not necessarily due to insurance issues but the first attempt required extensive cardiac clearance which got me an ICD implantation for a bad heart. I had to wait close to a year for my heart to improve and for my cardiologist to clear me for surgery. Just be patient... Everything happens exactly when it is supposed to.

I hate to say it but the problems are likely due to the healthcare.gov site not transferring your info correctly. My friend had same happen to her in nj and they still can't straighten out. Hospital can always submit precert via fax and paper (used to work in one) but it's too cumbersome to do

Good luck.

After more than a week of phone trouble with the insurer, I finally reached someone...via Twitter! They will check to see if the pre-cert request arrived.

They have the request and are reviewing it!!! (It's kinda sad I'm so excited about that.)

Great news!!!

[almosthome 91]

Got a tweet this morning saying I am approved!

Talked to the insurance coordinator. She says that since the surgeon will be gone a couple of weeks in May, I will probably end up with a date in early June.
