Insurance Companies 0 - The Smackey's 1

So today I got confirmation from a Humana employee that their medical director had approved coverage of the surgery at Wash U 100%, as well as all the office visits and hospital stays for the next 3 months. This has come after many prayers and much help from multiple people, namely Dr. Butcher, Dr. Wang and Pam Ryan - who have spent lots of time fighting for us with insurance. We don't have it in writing yet as we are waiting on the paperwork to come from Ochsner, but Megan and I are pretty excited. We were willing to pay to get the surgery done in St. Louis, but we are very blessed and much less stressed out knowing it will be taken care of by our insurance.

Dude, I just find out about this reading Ecka's last blog. I'm so sorry to hear about what all is happening and my prayers are with you too, bud. And glad the insurance is taking care of the surgery!
