That really doesn't sound like to much! I was sooo happy! I know it is alot more than it probably sounds like, but I have heard so much about how insurance companies make you jump through hoops and mine doesn't seem to be like that. Hopefully it all works out good. A nurse is suppose to be calling me from UHC to talk to me and get more info either today or tomorrow. Does anyone know why they have nurses call from the insurance company??

The company I worked for had a nurse assigned to me throughout the process, making sure I was progressing along, providing me with hints and tips to watch out for before, during, and after the surgery, and to be there as an advocate if I was having issues with anything. While I didn't have anything eventful happen, she did provide me with a lot of tips that I did not learn in any of the seminars I attended.
