My decision has been to get an implant, I was approved for approved for a unexpernced Doctor. So I thought I would seek a better known Doctor. And I found one in Arkansas. I was scheduled for a per surgery visit then surgery 2 weeks later. Then I get a call from the Doctor office telling me that I was denied because of my insurance didn't ok the surgery . The insurance okayed the surgery with the first Doctor,but not this one. Now I have to wait for approval again. And suffer with Ed till then.Help is need,any one else deal with this?

Happens all the time. The doc's office must submit paperwork correctly, with the proper diagnostic codes, before insurance will approve the procedure (assuming they cover implants at all). The experienced surgeons' staff know how to do this, which is yet another reason to go with a highly experienced doc.

The best way to make sure that you are working with an experienced doctor for your Penile Implant surgery is to look for a Prosthetic Urologist to perform the procedure. That is going to ensure that you are working with someone who is a Men's Health and Penile Implant specialist that deals with a high volume of these surgeries, which is what you want for the best results anyway!
