So I am sooooo close to this I can smell it. I am just waiting for my psychiatric evaluation. I went to the psychiatrist office and he thought that I was there to get my head examined :/ LOL. I told him that I was there for weight loss/lapband evaluation and his whole demeanor changed. I guess there is a process that happens with insurance and pre-authorized testing and different things like that. So basically he took down some information about me and family history and weight loss attempts and then when he gets authorization from the insurance company that they will pay for the tests he will call me back and I will just take the tests in his office. He says its just paper tests with questions and I can just do it unsupervised in his office and then I am done. After he reads through my papers, he will make an assessment and turn that in to my doctor and once that is done my doctor has all he needs to submit my paperwork to the insurance.
I have been researching how long authorization takes once paperwork is submitted through insurance, specifically BCBS (blue cross blue shield) and it varies from as little as 24 hours to 1 month. That makes me so nervous. Depending on how soon my psychiatrist gets this approved, I can be in surgery with in a month. I am so nervous and anxious my stomach ties every time I think about it.
I'm looking for a ticker to keep track of my BMI and weight and progress of my weight loss. Any good websites out there? I wanna add it to my blog some how....I don't even know how to spice my page up...let me first learn how to do that before I try to add the ticker. ;)
