Hard to believe.. Got approval and a date in less than 24 hrs

I can't believe it... Patrice at Dr. Overcash's office called yesterday and told me she was faxing the papers to Cigna as we spoke. She said she would call if when she hears in about 2 weeks. So when she called this morning when I wasn't home my husband took the message. He said she wouldn't tell him what it concerned. First thing that came through my head was I was declined or papers were missing.( I've been reading the boards) Nope she said she wanted to tell me I was APPROVED!! She said they never come back within 24 hours this was a first.. Thanks to everyone on the boards.. Your posting helped me get my information together and gave me the will to proceed... I'm very grateful for all the information. MY DATE IS APRIL 5TH.. Can't wait to be on the losing side...

Yay! I'm so happy for you! We'll both be on the loosing side SOON!
