Getting really excited. Insurance approval today.

AnnenOrange · September 12, 2008

My doctors office has been working very hard with me to try and do my surgery before October 1 since I have already met my insurance catatrophic cap for the year and the new year begins October 1. If I get my surgery before then, I will not have to pay anything and since my husband was laid off, that would help alot. They told me that they saved a date out for me but would not tell me when until the approval. Well, I was approved late today and the person at the Dr. office I need to talk to was already gone, but the insurance company called to tell me I was approved for 9/25 at St. Mary's Hospital. So I guess my surgery is 2 weeks from today. My Dr. office is calling me first thing in the morning to let me know when and give me all the information I need. I am so excited. I already started the liver shrinking diet this morning in case the approval went through. I met with the Dr. Office on July 29th and received approval from the insurance on Sept. 11. That was extremely fast from what I hear. Wish me luck. Tomorrow will tell me alot. I am ready to start a new journey in the rest of my life.
