Super bump on the road

I didn't get surgery July 7th because my insurance was terminated days before my surgery.. Soooooo sad. But all I have to do is reactivate it and call my surgeon back with an effective date of my insurance and get a new date.. Anyone familiar with this happening

I don't have that exact thing happening, but did have my insurance initially say that I had no pre reqs for the surgery , it just needed to be medically necessary,which it is.. and now they say they won't approve for another 2 - 3 months.. I am already 2.5 months into the whole process.. a bit frustrating.

I was approved and all .. This just happened bit thankfully I just need to call back when my insurance is up and running again so I can get the surgery

Yes, this happened to me last year when my husband (the insurance primary) was laid off the month before my surgery. We used COBRA to keep the coverage through 2013, but it took about a month for the paperwork to catch up. So it appeared like I didn't have insurance for about a month. I ended up postponing the surgery for 2 months. Ultimately, it all worked out and all medical bills from that month lag were paid, too.
