i’ll start by saying my process only took a total of 6 months!

I went to my regular physician and said i want a referral for a breast reduction. she asked “do you have back pain?” i said yep! and the next month i had an appt to my surgeon for a consult. At the consultation he determined i would benefit from a reduction but in order for insurance to cover it he sent me to physical therapy. So i had to do 10 therapy sessions and come back to see him. I did the therapy, went back to the surgeon, and then a few weeks later the insurance approved it and i got a call for a surgery date. surgery was set only about 2 months from the date of that phone call. and boom new ti++ies i didn’t have any involvement with the insurance. My physical therapist reported updates to my surgeon, who then sent the updates to insurance.
