Pre -op appointments are done

I am finally through with my testing!  I just called a the Doctor's office today and I have to wait until the end of the week for a call back to find out what the next step is! I am slightly frustrated because I am waiting and want to know if I have been approved!  Dr.  Giovanni's office does all the tesing first then the the insurance stuff!  Now I am waiting on them!  I know someone who strarted his process after me and already has a date set!  UUGGGH!  But I know their are others out there that are still waiting (Jod, I know things will turn the corner for you).  Do people know how quickly DR. G's office works about getting back to you about the next step in the process?

Thanks
Jenn

  Im not sure what your insurance co. is, I think it depends on them.  You can call your ins. co. and ask them if you've been approved also.  If they have all the test results  (sent by the Dr.'s office) they should be able to give you some kind of timeline.
It was all of 2  days for them to get back to me with a date..But my insurance had already okayed the surgery.

Hi Jenn,

Congrats of finishing this portion of your journey! What an accomplishment!

Cathy has some great advice for you. I have found that the squeeky wheel definitely gets the grease when it comes to the insurance company! You can also call Dr. G's office and speak with Cheryl about what she needs to get you approved more quickly.

Hope to hear you have a date soon!
