I am finally updating. Until now, I really didn't have anything to post except wait... wait... wait... Now, I have some great, new, wonderful, exciting, awesome information. Since Friday was October 1st, I decided to call the insurance company to see if they had a resolution for my appeal. The number on my appeal letter went to a voicemail, and the girl said that she was out of town, leave a message or contact this other number. I had already waited a month and a half so I called the other number. Can you believe it? That number went to a voicemail as well, and she was out of town. Again the choices were to leave a message or call another number. I would call all day if I had to, but I was going to talk to a person. 3rd time is the charm. I reached a person. She looked up my information, and calmly said "your appeal was approved." I couldn't believe my ears. I said "what?" She repeated it, and I squealed. I said "thank you, I love you." She probably thought I was crazy, but I was so happy. Literally, I was jumping up and down. She said the letter was mailed on September 28th and should arrive any day now. So now more waiting. It didn't come Friday. More waiting. It didn't come Saturday. More waiting. No mail on Sunday. More waiting. Finally, the letter was in the mail on Monday. It was official. Hurray.
I talked to the Doctor's office today, dropped off the letter with the authorization code, and made arrangements for my surgery. I will have my surgery on (Drum Roll......)
