Cautiously Optimistic...

Jul 22, 2010

Last Friday, July 16th, my documentation was submitted for insurance pre-authorization.  This afternoon, my surgeon's office called to tell me that the insurance company needs ONE more documentation....a dietitian consultation.  When I checked on my insurance requirements early on this process, I was informed that this was not necessary.  Apparently, now it is.  So....like a good compliant patient-to-be, I scheduled an appointment with my dietitian for Monday, July 26. 

I asked the coordinator from the surgeon's office the following question...."is it safe to assume that once I have this last document, that the insurance will grant pre-authorization?"  She replied "yes, I would think so!"  

I'm cautiously optimistic....I want to be celebrating, but I don't want to get my hopes up....JUST YET!  However, I feel closer to realizing my goal by the minute!  I'm sure you all can understand these feelings! 

Stay tuned.....and prayers for speedy approval!
