| I'm approved!
I just heard my cell phone beep. Apparently I got a call today from the surgeon's office, and the person that called said that my insurance had approved me! They just resubmitted everything on Friday! I can't believe it happened that fast! :faint:  :bounce:
Of course, now I can't help but think about how soon I would have been approved if the office manager hadn't lost my paperwork AGAIN.
Oh, well. They are going to call again to set up appointments and hopefully a surgery date.

YAY! How fantastic! I know how stressful it is waiting for that. Do you know your surgery date?

| Not yet. I missed their first call and they haven't called back yet (and I've been too busy with end of the semester crap to call them). It should be sometime this summer, though. (It better be before August 2nd, or I'll have to have everything resubmitted to insurance under the new policy that I'll have).
