Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Yea Tracie, I'm so happy you've gotten insurance approval. I'm sure it won't be long now. I finally heard from my PCP and they gave me the big thumbs up. So now I'm filling out my on-line form so I can find out about my insurance. Wish me luck, Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 Congratulations to you . I too have Aetna and am sending in my letters on Monday. Hopefully they will be as generous to me and approve my surgery. Good luck to you and I wish you great success in your journey onto the other side.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 Once your packet is approved you can make an appointment for surgery. Most out of town folks do a clinic on Tuesday and then surgery later in the week (that is why Wednesday is so busy). You only have to attend one clinic. You can also attend the clinic whenever you wish obviously and then schedule surgery at your convenience. on Surgery date 10/04/00 P.S.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 , You only have to attend one clinic. And if things have not changed you can send in your packet with the reciept from your doctor showing you had a pap. Then when the results come in you can fax them to Barbara.
