|  Had my final visit, now it is up to insurance
I had my last visit today with my family dr. All other consults have been taken care of. My surgeons office is really on top of things, they called this afternoon to check on my visit and have me sign a new release which they faxed and I faxed back but left the original with my doctor. (can't tell I am anxious can you?)
It's now up to the insurance companies now to approve or deny. I don't really care what United Health Care does as their coverage is so minimal, but if BCBS AL does not approve I will be back to square one. I can't afford to pay what United Health Care won't cover.
So, I am going to pray for a quick response and approval from both so I can get the surgery scheduled.
Melinda

You have done what you can and your Drs office should already know what they needed to get you approved. Good luck! BTW. What ever BSBS pays normally UHC has to pay the same just FYI.
