Hello,
I had revision surgery with Dr. Keshishian in Dec. my timing went like this.
Aug. 15 Medical history and current medical records.
Aug 30 inital consultation (a must for me wanted to meet him first)
Sept Dr. K's office sent paperwork for insurrance approval
Oct Approval and surgery scheduled
Nov/Dec pre surgery tests
Dec 10 surgery
I read my insurance coverage first to see if ther were any obvious exclusions. I also had all of the tests done as they were covered. I also scheduled my surgery once Silva called me with approval. I did verify with a call to Insurance after I recieved the approval letter in the mail. Just to make sure.
There is a Program fee which is not covered by insurance. Also you have to stay in the area 5-10 days after surgery. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks so my poor husband was in a hotel. I did get to go home upon release.
He is an amazing surgeon and a fantastic human being he really cares about his patients. Very compassionate person. I told my husband I was going to leave him for the Dr. My husband said heck he was going to leave me for him too. All jokeing aside I know for a fact he saved my life.
There are several of us on the board. I am sure Girlrocker or Prettygirlbounce will chime in too.
Best,
Whitney
