sdwatson03 12 Posted October 13, 2014 Dr Castro in Duncanville. I'm scheduled for November 4th pending insurance approval but the office doesn't seem to think there should be any problem with approval. I hope they are right! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToccoraVSG 76 Posted October 13, 2014 Wonderful, I am so happy for you. Dr. Nicholson would not provide a date prior to approval, I guess it is okay though since I know it is going to happen now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToccoraVSG 76 Posted October 13, 2014 Approval was much easier than I thought though. I started a new job in April, which meant new insurance. I was very fearful about the approval process, got a call on Monday. You are Approved, I asked my assigned nurse how likely was approval. She said if you need it we want you to have it. I think most insurance companies look for their criteria and requirements to be met. You should be fine if that is all in place. Plus your Dr. office wants you to get approved they are likely doing all they can and telling you the right things to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puttingme1st 143 Posted October 21, 2014 I am having surgery Wednesday at Baylor Plano. Dr. Kilgore. Have you gone to any of the support groups? I have been going to one at the hospital every week for the past several months. They are extremely helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
