****Update****

My denial has been over turned by my insurance and I can now go on with the surgery. It was so exciting and worth all of my trouble when i went to the mailbox on Saturday and my approval letter was in there. Now I just have to schedule my surgery. Here lies my problem I really dislike my surgeon's office. The surgeon is nice but the rest of his office annoys the mess out of me. My dilemma now is do I keep going there b/c I have paid the $400 so far or do I pay more money and find a Surgeon's office I really like??

If you change surgeons, I am pretty sure that you have to go through the approval process again.

I don't believe you do as you approved for the procedure, not for the doctor.

But the new surgeon may have new requirements.

Think about what it will be like to be getting fills from this place. If the office staff is bad in a way that makes your aftercare nightmare-ish, it might be worth switching. OTOH, if the surgeon is really, really good, it might be worth putting up with them.

My surgeon's office staff is nice. But they haven't got it together. Which means a lot of rescheduled appointments and I have to do more follow-up than I like.

However, it's worth it to me because my surgeon is so good and it's not like they are horrible to deal with. If they were bitchy or mean, that would tip the balance.
