What is dictation?

I keep hearing about this, but have no idea what it is.

Pokey,

Dictation is where the surgeon dictates your case and sends it to the insurance company for approval. That happens when all your tests have been completed and you are ready for surgery.

Jerry,
Wow, congratulations! That has got to be a record breaker for the shortest processing! Soon you will be a "loser" too.
