The Insurance Hoops Dance

[theantichick 2,204]

Surgeon's office called today because they still haven't gotten the psych eval paperwork. Let her know what's holding up the PCP letter as well. She's going to call the psych guy and get that one, and then go ahead and submit to insurance. She said they'll put the approval in pending status if they still need the PCP letter, but it will also let us know if there's any other issues they have, so we can start addressing that.

Fingers crossed!!

Was out sick today with a nasty Migraine. Checked my voice mail, and there's one from my surgeon's office saying I've been approved. Not sure how, since my PCP hasn't cleared me yet, but I'll call tomorrow and hopefully get my date.

Given my history of issues with insurance companies, I am not going to hold my breath.

But.

I have a date - August 17.

Woohoo!

Cigna approved my surgery even before I had my PCP authorization. And my BP was normal (112/78) this morning, so my PCP has cleared me.

Now to get the butterflies in my stomach to settle down, since I've got a lot to do between now and then.

Woohoo!

Congrats!!!!! Seemed like a long insurance process but the finish line is near.
