22M
After years of tonsillitis and tonsil stones, my ENT finally decided it’s time for a tonsillectomy, so at the beginning of March we get the process started. Im also in the middle of switching jobs, which means I’ll be losing my insurance at the end of this month.
I was having big anxiety (job switch, impending tonsillectomy, moving in a couple months), and had rapid heart rate and shortness of breath less than a week before I got a call from the anesthesiologist, who gave me screening questions. When I brought up my anxiety attack, they said I had to get it cleared before I could get he surgery. I met with my primary care asap who concluded, it was in fact anxiety, and gave me the green light for the tonsillectomy.
I call the scheduler for the surgery now thinking I’m cleared, but she said she needs to fax them and have them fill out forms, and won’t get back to me next week.
They only do surgery’s on Tuesday’s, and because of the job change, I won’t have insurance after the end of the month.
My main two questions are, do you need to be cleared by insurance when you schedule the surgery or when you actually get it? The next would be, if not, is it unheard of to be scheduled the day before the surgery? Freaking out big time.
