Surgery is scheduled

So, after 2 months of waiting to receive either a letter from Medicare, or a phone call from the surgery place, I finally just called them to see what's going on with the insurance. They looked up my file and then say they want to schedule my surgery, which didn't answer my question directly, so she explained Medicare approved it, Tricare denied it. And that Tricare approved what Medicare doesn't... which just makes me wonder if we can get Tricare to approve a second CI. Despite what I've heard people say Tricare doesn't cover CI's, I did directly call, and read online, that Tricare will cover a CI under physician approval that it is a necessity. Might take some begging. Haha, but that's more hope than hearing Medicare only covers one CI.

Anyway, so I scheduled my surgery for mid September because I wanted to wait til after I'm done flying planes for at least 3 months. Only 3 months away.

  1. i'm glad to hear that. you know, sometimes i take for granted something as simple as being able to hear. Though, admittedly, if someone is yelling at me, I wish i were deaf. So I guess one could say it's a blessing on both sides of the table. Not to say that I don't understand why someone would want to be able to hear. Communication can be better when hearing accompanies it. Though (my last though, LoL), text, sign language, written words, etc, are at times clearer than when people try to speak. I have run into people that can speak, but sometimes not clearly because of a lisp, speech impediment or possibly a poorly done tongue ring. At any rate, i'm happy for you! :p

    Kool that i can comment now! :)
