Hi Shotputqueen, congratulations on making progress. You will find this group informative. I'm down in Boston. Actually, the office team of the surgeon I had did not put in any orders or insurance authorizations until I had completed all preliminary steps. I had to let them know, and in fact, the admin assistant told me when I asked that a lot of people start, but never complete the prelim appointments..so they were pleasantly surprised each time a patient told them they completed the process.
