Abdominoplasty with panniculectomy approved!! Questions to those who are smarter than...
i willl track him down. I suspect my preauthorization is not dependent on the surgeon assuming they are in the network, and most everyone in Michigan is. If he can get me in fast that for sure is a reason to go!

Grew up in Royal Oak, and live in Lake Orion. I see your surgeon is the partner of my surgeon, so I am betting money you are out of the 14 and Coolidge location. If you go to the support group on Wednesdays I am the super tall chick with the bald husband that sometimes comes with me...

Yep- that is the location :) Group meets at 6 pm on Wednesdays. They post on the white board by the desk what conference room we are meeting in, but sometimes they forget. It is almost always conference rooms 3 and 4. Even if you have not had surgery it would really start you off on the right foot to start attending meetings now. We get lots of preop folks! Feel free to PM me if you want more info

You might want to double check with your surgeon's office. I went back and found this old post I had bookmarked

Informative- thanks! Clearly I will need to be specific on charges with the surgeon. I appreciate the response Candy, and hopefully your insurance is helpful for you.

They have office hours on Saturday- if I don't hear back from them by tomorrow I am driving down. Ridiculous beyond words that they don't return calls!
