Sep 02, 2009

I've finished all my preop appointments.  I'm waiting for the doctor's office to contact me to make my appointment for the "decision visit".  I'm pretty sure at that appointment they go over all my test results and evaluation results with me and I make a decision if I want the surgery and which surgery I want.... at that point they'll submit my case to my insurance company (which I have TriCare Prime- I've heard they usually approve it within a week).  They'll call me once again after that, letting me know I've been approved.   From there I'll make my third and final appointment with my surgeon and at that appointment they'll give me my surgery date. 
I'm not exactly sure why I need that 3rd appt. and why they can't just call me and say "hey you're approved, here's the date"... oh well, I'm not complaining, I'm just sooooo anxious!!!   The waiting game is never too fun.
