Finally done with the testing

Sep 05, 2007

Well I just got home from all my appointments.  I had 4 appointments today.  I had to have all these done before it goes to insurance.  I had the blood gas and a breathing test first.  I was so scared to have the blood gas done but it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting.  After that I had to have blood drawn for thyroid testing and for some other things (not sure what all the codes meant) then I went for the nutritional and psych evaluations.  It all went wonderful.  I have a better understanding of how and what to eat after surgery to make the tool work for me,  The psych really made me feel a lot better about everything.  She said her job was to make sure the patient was making a well informed decision and she felt I was ready for the surgery, was well informed on it and felt that I would have no problem getting approved.  I HOPE SHE IS RIGHT!!!!!!


Appointments

I received my packet from Village Surgical yesterday in the mail. All my appointments are scheduled for September 5th. After Dr. Davidson gets all the results back he will get my stuff together and send to BCBS and then they will let me know. I want to be approved so bad! The waiting is killing me. Wish me luck! I'll update when I find out more.

On my way!

I met with the surgeon today, Dr. Davidson and it went great! He thinks with all the trouble/surgery I have had with the heel spurs (since 1998) that my insurance company will approve me. I sooooo hope so!!! They are scheduling me for all my test, nutrition evaluation, etc. Then we will send our request to the insurance company and wait for an answer. He thinks I will be approved but he said if we are denied, he thinks we can get it approved with an appeal. Will update when I find something out :)
