Feeling anxious

[Butterbeanfly 19]

Hello all

Feeling very anxious this evening. Went through all the hoops only to discover my chosen hospital and surgeon would not be covered by insurance. Be careful when you talk to insurance reps! Center or excellence and center of distinction are not the same thing. Now I am traveling a good ways tomorrow to meet with new surgeon and nut. Hoping all my hoops will transfer and they can get me submitted to insurance this week. I think new venue will be for the best but I am nervous and probably will be until I get an actual date. Been at this since April. Wish me luck!

Good luck. Hope you checked with insurance this time to double check

[Butterbeanfly 19]

Yes! I checked and then again! Think I have had a few too many surprises on this journey already. Best news is better hospital, cheaper cost. I have to pay 40% with no cap.

Though I guess part of the hospital mix up was both places are affiliated and have the same name. But they are not the same group?

Sorry to hear that. What insurance do you have?

Bcbs ga

Oh ok. I thought everyone took bcbs. I have bcbs fed

[Butterbeanfly 19]

They take it but I have to go to center of distinction to qualify.

[mz.newlife54 103]

Ok. Gotcha

Best of luck to you! I had the other problem with Drs office not letting me past the gate keeper.

[Butterbeanfly 19]

Yay! They accepted my paperwork from other hospital and are submitting me to insurance tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
