Hi Patti-Jo,

From my experiance with Dr Giovanni, before I was able to make my 2nd appointment I was required to have finished all of the testing and have insurance approval. I would get in contact with the office and see what other tests you need to complete before they can submit your claim to your insurance.

I agree with Laura....my experience with Dr. Giovanni was the same.  Get all of the testing done, then ins. approval, then 2nd appt.  Good Luck!!
