Guest guest Posted December 14, 2001 Report Share Posted December 14, 2001 Congratulations Shari!! Feb 1 will be here before you know it. You are in good hands with Dr Herron. He was my dr too. Just watch out for the nurses at Mt Sinai. <G> Are you going to get your own insurance approval or let Daryl at the Dr's office take care of it for you? I was advised by the staff to let Daryl do the insurance approval so everything would be done correctly. Welllllll, he takes forever to get it done. Mine was only a little over a week when he got the approval. I never had a formal letter from the insurance company, but I did call to verify it afterwards. However now I get a bill for the anesthesia department saying my insurance denied payment. So now I have to find out what is going on. Word of advice, about 1 month prior to surgery, start calling Daryl, and bug him and make him be specific about what is approved by the insurance. I was not on this group prior to surgery and had no posts to read for advice or I may have done things differently. Best of luck!!!
