I (unfortunately) have a medicare advantage plan requiring the use of network doctors and facilities. My plan authorized me to obtain second opinion from a surgeon outside of my network. I would like to use him for my upcoming valve surgery. So my question is whether any of you, who are limited to networks, have been successful in obtaining out of network authorization. I am hoping that the insurance people at the hospital can accomplish this but I was wondering if any of you have succeeded in doing so and whether you have any advice. Thanks.
