be finalized after all is said and done after your hospital stay. Simple enough. Don't over complicate.
actually the issue i had was that there was no diagnosis, no letter of medical necessity for the 'planned elective surgery', despite asking for this it wasn't provided, my insurance company specifically asked me for diagnosis, medical report and letter of medical necessity explaining why the surgery is required.

Regardless, the frustration with Dr Desai's team has lead me to Dr Bierstedt and his team who are much more pro active in this regard.
