Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 I am sitting in my office, smiling ear to ear, trying to figure out if this is real. My doctor's office filled out my official referral for the procedure and hospital (which are out of state) and called for authorization and before I could get back to my office, there was a message saying that I was approved!!!!!! This has been an unbelieveable day for me. Through the help of W. I was able to secure my mothers arrival for my surgery (Thank you again) and now I know for sure it is OK'd. My surgeon hasn't even written the letter of medical necessity yet. Part of me is worrying that this is too good to be true because it has happened so smoothly. I kept asking Kim from my PCP's office " Is that it? Don't they need anything else? " and she said I was done. She faxed the referral to Dr. Hares office with the authorization code on it and I am set for a December 11th surgery date! I'm soooooo happy and relieved, I can hardly stand it. I want to jump up and down and run naked through the building!!!!!!!!!!!!! (OK, I probably won't actually do that) I AM APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you to everyone on this list that has helped me along the way, for your support, laughs, information, everything. I am completely overwhelmed by it all! Oh happy day.........I am approved. It will sink in eventually I guess. To those that are waiting for approval, I wish you the best of luck. My wish would be that you all get to feel like I am feeling right now. Thanks for reading!
