Hi Brandy..I hope your surgery went well,,best wish's on your new life !!

My insurance company only covered specific doctors and Centers of Excellence, so I had their list to start with of who they'd cover me for. I took that list to my primary care physician and he went over it with me. Plus, my sister and I both researched all the doctors and chose mine. My insurance had an application process, which I did and my PCP wrote a letter of recommendation and need to them. Then I had to go through a 6-month insurance pre-op thing where they assigned me a case manager to work with throughout the process.

My surgery is tomorrow (Oct 31st) @10am Good Luck to you
