They Got my Eval.

I am so excited. Yesterday I called Hurley and they got my psych eval earlier that day. As soon as they review the report and make sure that it is all in order they will be sending my case off for pre-approval. I was told that it would hopefully be early in the week, next week. I am so excited. Once they send it in, I have to wait for a denial from my primary (they have an exclusion policy for ANYTHING to do with obesity, even it is medically neccessary), then as long as I meet all the requirements for Medicare I will get a call and get a date. They don't have to send it in for Medicare for approval. So I am hoping that my BC/BS (out of Washington) gets the claim, sees the diagnosis code and denies it right away. Never thought I would hope for a denial from my medical insurance. LOL.... I am keepiong my fingers crossed that in just a couple weeks I will have a date, and hopefully it will be before the end of October. This board has been so valuable to me and I am so glad you are all here. I have learned so much from all of you. Shawn M.

Shawn: Congrats on getting so far in the process! Sounds like things are going to work out great! My first appointment at Hurley is in a mere 3 days, so I am about to take the same steps you just finished. Pam

Thanks and good luck to you on your appointment. Shawn McGeachy

Your on you way Shawn! Shouldn't take to long I would think...... Connie

I sure hope you are right. I guess I am just anxious to get a date. I have so much going on with my kids and all, so I want to be able to start scheduling baby sitters and all of that kind of stuff. I know that things are actually going kind of smooth for me so far, I just want things to move faster. Thanks for the support. Shawn McGeachy
