APPROVED

I need a colonscopy and an endoscope before I get a date. But my appointment for that is in March so I am thinking end of March or Mid April! I don't care I AM APPROVED!!! 

  Doin' the happy dance with you Jeanine.  Let us know when you get the actual date.  Looking forward to welcoming you to the losing side of surgery.  Hugs

Jeanine,

I didn't mean to pry into your blogs, but I was curious about your insurance company.  From reading some of your blog postings on your "myoh" page, it seems that you have had to wait for approval for over a year.  Do you mind telling me who your insurance was before you switched to a new insurance company and who is now your insurance company?  My husband is retired Army so we have "Tri-care prime".  I've just started the procedures for the request for coverage.  (The 6mths of testing and dieting and all that stuff).  I'm eager to have this operation done -- not in a hurry, but I don't want to get the run around either.  Do you have any advice that might help me?

Thanks for posting-- I'm very happy for you and speedy recovery. I hope to hear from you soon.

Brenda

 To answer your question. I had MaineCare (Medicaid in Maine) and I now have Harvard Pilgrim. I hear nothing bad about TriCare but I do not know how long it will take or how hard it will be to get approved! Hope it all goes well for you! All insurance companies are different. You have to do a 6 month supervised diet yet I didn't. I am sorry to not be of more help!

I'm so glad for you. I know you have been waiting a long time.  Mag
