My GI Doc wants me to have a Colonoscopy, been 5 years, so ok. Also, because of the surgery 5 years ago, needs to do an Endoscopy, ok too. Doc says he'll do both at the same time cause I'll already be knocked out, and the Endo will be just a quicky look/see. Pre-auth required of course.
Some minor difficulty with the Ins Co. regarding the term "same time". Their computer system choked and coughed and belched because there were not two separate and distinct appointments associated with said procedures. Tried to explain to the "nice" Lady what "already knocked out" meant. Apparently, this was a new concept.
Finally said "If you went to the store for some milk and bread, would you buy the milk, take it home, drive back to the store, and then buy the bread?". Response: "Of course not!".

I now have my pre-auths.
