I am right there with you! I'm scared to death, because I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get approved. We just have to hang in there I guess, and not loose hope. Good Luck!

I echo your sentiments, we'll sit together with all of our fingers and toes crossed, okay? I'm hoping, hoping, hoping :)

I guess I got lucky, I anticipated 30 or 45 days, but my case manager at the insurance company told me that once the surgeon's office submits, it's usually two. Two days, be still my fluttering heart!

Hopefully I'll know by Monday or Tuesday.

Gee at list you can call an actual case manager. At UHC I can't even talk to them. I get my information from customer service from the care coordinator.
