My surgeons nurse submitted my paperwork and charts to my insurance company last Thursday and since then I have been slightly anxious. Perhaps I never even really thought I would get to this point and maybe I thought that it would all be a breeze. Then it hit me, "what if I'm denied?"
Yesterday I decided to call the insurance company just to make sure they received my paperwork. In my line of business follow-up is everything -- so following-up is engrained in my head. I told them I just wanted to be sure that my doc sent in my paperwork and before the insurance rep put me on hold to check she said it sometimes could take up to 10 working days for paperwork to even be processed and input into the system. When she came back on the line a couple of minutes later she said that all of the documents had been received and that I was approved and that the approval letters were mailed to me and to my doc yesterday.
I was floored! And very excited!
I'm feeling so many things... excitement, happiness, trepedation, anxiety and plain old fear. I know all of these feelings are normal and I'm just trying to go with the flow.
It's hard to believe that in a few weeks I will be on my way and beginning the adventure of a new journey. It will be so nice!
