Submitting to insurance tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office will be sending my stuff to the insurance company tomorrow. I will be on pins and needles waiting to hear back. I am still hoping to get a July surgery date.

Good Luck! I hope you hear back soon. I am in the same situation, but my clinic messed up and didn't submit it on the 18th like they were supposed to, so now they are trying to push it through.

Good Luck!!

Never mind, I was told today that my file is "in line to be submitted by the first of next week". I am so beyond mad because they told me 2 weeks ago they would submit today,

I think they just tell us what pops into their heads at the time. To heck with the clinic, I called the insurance company today and they did confirm they had everything and I should hear back by Monday, Tuesday at the latest since it is a long weekend. The planned date for the surgery is July 15, so maybe we will all go in at the same time!

If the dr hasn't submitted to the insurance yet I can't call and bug the insurance. :(. I sent another email asking if we could at least schedule my surgery contingent on insurance approval. We will see what they say.

Me to. I am in the exact boat as you. Waiting to hear. It was submitted 7-1-15. They did give me a surgery date of August 10th pending approval. Good luck!

I got an email today that said it would be submitted at the beginning of next week. It will be a miracle if this happens before I go back to school the middle of August! Ugh!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
