Insurance approval

[Guest guest]

Well just got my approval in the mail on the first shot. Going to the

JRI to have my rt hip. resurfaced by Dr. Amstutz. They approved it as

a " Non Network Provider " I believe this is because the sent it in as

a THR. Now my question is, does anybody think it would be worth my

while to go back to the insurance company and explain to them that

the reason for me going to California (I live in Ohio) is because

nobody within our network does this surgery (resurfacing). Hoping, of

course, they (the insurance) would change the reimbursement rate. I

have been reading alot of conversations about the way JRI is sending

this to insurance companies for approval. Or should I be thankful it

was approved and go get it done.

Thanks for the input.
