Pre-op steps

I received a surgery date of June 17 for my sleeve. My insurance does cover this type of surgery. I have done all my insurance required steps. I have had an upper GI two weeks ago. My question is this I need to do a chest X-Ray, EKG, blood work, and see my primary for history and physical and get a pregnancy test, will this hold up my insurance approval? I have an appointment with my primary the first week of June. But all these steps need to be done 3 to 14 days prior to surgery. Does insurance approval move that fast or are these things only for the surgeon?

I'd say these are for the surgeon. I've had over 13 various surgeies in my life and I've always had to had an EKG and blood work the week before. So I would say that your insurance paper work has already been sent and they are hoping to get the approval by then or they already have it. So don't worry about that, things are rolling along!

Thank you.
