Submitted to Insurance

[FloridaGal1976 77]

My package was submitted to my insurance last week. A hospital authorization popped up on my insurance record dated 1/18. Not sure what that means, but I'm just patiently waiting for my insurance decision, whether an approval or denial. I'm the most impatient person so the wait is killing me.

I figure, if approved, I'll probably be scheduled for mid to late March. I really can't believe how quickly the last 6 months have gone, but these last few weeks are dragging by. My final appointment was last Monday but seems like last year.

This site is a great source of information. I can't tell you how much of a help it has been through this journey.

I think my surgeon's office is in the process. I checked last Friday and they said they were and would call me. I hope I hear before the end of the month cause they routinely schedule out about 6 weeks.That should make it early to Mid March, but I wish they would have a cancellation and work me in sooner. I am getting very impatient, want,to remind them I'm not getting any younger.

I keep checking my insurance account multiple times a day to see if there's any indication of the outcome. I'm a little anxious I guess you could say.

My information was sent to my insurance company on Tuesday, January 23rd. I was told it would take 2-10 business days to get an answer. My doctor's office said they would like to try to schedule me at the end of February or latest mid March. How exciting!!! I too am getting a little impatient. I've started this whole process 8 months ago. I'm now 10 pounds less than what they required me to be at. I'm scared of gaining it back.

Oh wow! That must be some good insurance, although I've never heard of it. That's really awesome.
