Questions to ask...

Ok so I am going to my first seminar on Tuesday November 17th and another Thursday November 19th...I was just wondering what type of questions I should ask...I am bringing my letter of necessity that I wrote and the letter that my Doctor has written as well...I am hoping that I can get the process rolling along quickly after these seminars! Cross your fingers for me to be approved without any hassle!!

Please ask any questions that come to mind.  As a help, write down your questions as you think of them before the seminar.  And bring this list of questions with you.  I do the same for my appointments, my mind always forgets something I wanted to ask.  Amazing how things just slip from your mind in the moment. 

Absorb all the info you can, bring a friend or family member with you as a second pair of ears.  May your process speed right on.  Hugs, Kathy

Is the seminar through your insurance company or a doctors office? Given that you mentioned bringing the letter from your doc and your own letter I am guessing the insurance company???

As Kathy said ask anything you can think of to ask. Do you know for sure what procedure you want to have? You may ask about the different procedures the pro's and cons of each. Its hard to tell you what to ask, not knowing how much you already know, and if this is put on by insurance or doctor.

I wish you the best of luck with having your procedure approved!
