Getting closer:)
Jan 18, 2010
I met with the psychologist again and went over the letter that she would be sending to my doctor. I called my insurance and I am only required to have a BMI of 40 or greater, so the meeting with the dietician and the psych eval must be required by the doctor. I also called all of the hospitals that the doctor had listed where he has privileges. Having a background in a medical office on the business side I know that the insurance is ultimately the patients responsibility. For instance if something came up where the hospital was out of network then the patient would still be responsible even if the drs' office failed to tell you they were out of network. So, anyway I called to confirm that both the hospital and anestesiologist were in network and 2 of the hospitals and groups were in network one was not. I also found out when I called my insurance company and asked how long it took after the claim was submitted for approval for them to give the approval for the procedure, they said less than 30 days worst case 30 days. I am so ready!!! I hope that the insurance person at the office is on the ball with sending it to my insurance. I will keep you all updated when I know more. Thanks for all of the support!
