Insurance approval

[ryn2short 5]

I had my last dietician appointment on the 5th , n all the info from the 6 months long clearance is finally over n done with, now I'm just waiting by my phone for the surgeons office to call me with the date ( should be towards the end of this month ). The thought of getting denied by the insurance company hasn't cross my mind till now ???????????????? n it's freaking me out so I just need for them to call me ASAP before my nerves take over

The wait was the worst part for me after that six month long diet and then appointments for this and that. I called a week and a half after my Drs office was suppose to file for approval and they hadn't yet. I was so annoyed. I bugged after that with repeated calls.

I couldn't stand the wait so I called my insurance company yesterday, papers were submitted after my last appointment on the first, and they told me I was approved!! Give it a week or two, you'll know soon enough!

I would call..It wouldn't hurt. Plus that way you can make sure they have everything they need.

You can just call and tell them you are checking on the status of your VSG approval. My insurance called it pre-certification.

[claddagh66 132]

Just what Dede said. That would be perfect. I would say I'm just calling to check the status of my pre certification status on an upcoming surgery my doctor submitted to you this past week. They'll tell you! I'm excited for you! Good luck!

@@ryn2short I called my insurance company today. The representative said she flagged my request so anytime there is a status change she will call me. That way if they need additional information I can stay on top of my doctors office to get it in.
