How long for Medicare to approve surgery?
Hi All,
I had my first appointment with Dr. DeMaria, the nutritionist, and psychologist a couple of weeks ago. I went last week for my pre op testing. Duke Weight Loss Center has all my 6 months documentation with my primary physician, and Dr. DeMaria told me they would get my insurance approved and schedule a surgery date and I would meet with him one more time. My question is: Have any of you been through this process with Medicare? How long was your wait for the insurance approval? Im so glad to have this forum here. It really helps.
Thanks,
Jason
