Talking New Insurance startes today!

Today started the newsest insurance period at work. I had changed mine from a HAP HMO to a High Mark Blue Shield PPO. The difference is the HMO requires a 12 month diet and the PPO requires a 6 month diet. Since we didn't get out insurance cards in yet I called the company and they were able to give me my policy number incase I have to go to the doctor. I also needed the qualifications from them and they will be sending them to me withing the next few days. I was really nervous about being able to count my last 3 dieticion visits towards my new insurances policy but they said a dieticion would be exceptable even if some of if was with a previouse insurance. So my last visit would be at the end of September and I am hoping to have surgery in November because it's what would be best for school and work.

I have to work really hard as soon as I get the info from the insurance and start looking for a hospital and get in for a consalt so I can start all my evals. I only have 3 months so I hope that's enough time to make it all happen.

Wish me luck!


Nothing could ruin this day for me...NOTHING! =)
