The Long Process

If I had completed all the steps I stated I could have been more in to this process than where I am now. After the failed attempt with True Results, I did more research. Now if you are considering using True Results just be sure to realize they are a liaison between John-Q Public & the Surgeons. I do believe this place is only in business to make money that one does not need to spend. My advice, make sure your insurance company will cover this place before you even go there. YOU call the insurance do not trust any of these places to do the work and get it right for you.

This led me to find out what a Center of Excellence is, it boils down to a hospital that follows up for years on their patients. My insurance only covers 6 hospitals in the DFW area, my choice - UT Southwestern Medical Center. I do think I made the right decision. We went to the seminar December 18. It was very informative. We had a surgeon talk to us. He is the one I chose to use. He is really down to earth. It was mentioned at the seminar to contact your insurance company. I did that, now this is the only issue I have had so far with the place.

I have BCBS, but in case you don't know, there are different plans based on what state your insurance is issued from, the BCBS of Texas has different requirements, I am on BCBS of Ca, so I am not required to have as much stuff as the TX plan is. So I had the info and one of the ladies did not want to hear me but that got taken care of.

Now finding a psychologist. Another tidbit of info....it is a regular psych evaluation that my surgeon is requiring. I have been quoted upwards of $500 for this, but then I found another one who is doing the necessary evaluation for $125. My suggestion shop around. You might not find one on your insurance, but then again your insurance may not cover it if your deductible has not been met.

Bringing you current. We as a family went and joined the YMCA today, they have a special Pay the Day, it only cost $2 for us to join today. There are even classes Logan can take. We are going to go tomorrow, Ray & I are excited. We need this.

I am going to take pictures and post them so you can follow my journey in pictures. The only thing is trying to decide what to wear...and SPANDEX is not an option....only your best friend could suggest that and not get their butt kicked!!! Love ya girl!!!
