Because I have a DATE! July 3rd, 2009. I have my pre-op appointment on June 25th to do all of the bloodwork, tests, etc.
Now, to just get it paid for. After I got the denial letter, I made a phone call to my insurance company. They told me I needed to go through my surgeon for the appeal. I called my surgeon. They didn't call back. I called my surgeon. They said that I had to go through my human resources department or benefits coordinator - because I could appeal until the cows come home - and medically necessary or not, my plan automatically excludes orthognathic surgery of all kinds.
So, this morning I called my benefits office. THEY told me I have to be denied AGAIN by the insurance company before they become involved. Tomorrow (or tonight if they're open past 5pm) I'll call the insurance company again and tell then what I've been told since our last conversation. What a giant joke.
But I have a DATE!!
