I think a lot of it depends on your insurance. With some insurances, you're pretty much guaranteed approval when you get a referral to Dr. Callery/Dr. Potts. Other insurances give you the referral, but then you have to jump through hoops to get the approval.

I know this is not the answer you wanted, but I really believe it all depends on your insurance carrier.

Don't be nervous. I'm a firm believer that if it's meant to be, it will be!

Good luck with your approval and surgery!
