Short term disability?

Hi -

has anyone gotten std approval for a lbl? 

I did since my insurance covered it and both the insurance and my Dr said it was medically necessary. Was approved for 4 weeks off and Dr. could have extended if he felt I needed more time (which he didn't).

I'm having surgery with Dr Foote in the same office as Dr k. I wonder if i can be approved too

Where did you apply? I'm in Grand Rapids 

I get Short Term Disability thru my work anytime I would be off for more than 5 consecutive days, so that's what was used. In this case I called to make sure it would be covered and it was since it was deemed medically necessary.
