What should I do to get it approved

[jaima]

OK guys the final step to get my insurance to pay for my surgery is coming next week, a visit to the plastic surgeon.  I did the ultrasound, the    x rays, mammogram(embarrassing, the only male patient there)and a visit to  an endocrinologist.  My private doctor says that I have a very good chance of getting it approved since I have a lump in my left breast that is very painful, luckily the lump is not malignant.  My question is to those who had their surgery paid for by their insurance, what should I tell the surgeon to increase my chances of getting the surgery approved?  My insurance is BCBS, only a few hospitals in nyc accept this insurance and that is why I was send to Montefiore Hospital here in nyc, one of the few hospitals that would accept this coverage.  Help me out guys, I need some pointers, I really want this surgery done, I had enough of this miserable life.
