Final appointment and submitting to insurance

[eubanks2013 18]

Hi everyone well Monday is going to be my last weigh in for my 6 months supervised diet then we are submitting to insurance so hopefully will have surgery in September before my deductibles restart.... I am nervous and scared all in one now that I am getting to the end of all the hoops I talked with my nurse this morning and she said she has no doubt I will get approved which helped with my nerves but you never know when it comes to the insurance companies... Did anyone with United healthcare have a problem getting approved quickly

Hi there! Sounds like we are on the same path. My last supervised visit is on Friday. Then on Monday we will submit all of my paperwork for approval. Unfortunately I am on a different insurance plan than you but I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully we will both get to have our surgery around the same time. I'm sure much like me you are very anxious. It is hard not to be excited and really nervous all at the same time. I'm sure we will both be great!

Hi there! I am with the both of you. Just had my last NUT appt on Monday and they are sending everything for insurance approval this week. Hear it takes about 2 weeks though UHC. I have a 2ndary Ins also that will have no issues approving. Having my consult with Dr next Tue and then they'll schedule surgery for probably last week in Sept, pending the insurance approval, which my patient coordinator feels sure will go through! So excited right now. The nerves haven't hit yet. I just can't wait to know the date!
