starting the insurance circus
:thumbup: Ok I called the surgeons office today and they said it takes about 3 to 4 weeks to get the insurnace approval. I asked if it had been sent and she said it takes a while to get the approval. I called insurance co (TriCare) and they said it only takes 3 to 5 days max but they have to get the request for approval first and nothing has been sent in. When my PCM did the refferal for the surgeon it wa there by the time I got home that afternoon. My appointment with the surgeon was last Monday and they haven't gotten anything from them. I'm not sure if it is the surgeon office that is dragging their feet or if the mailed it to take longer instead of calling or faxing the refferal. It really does make you feel like a piece of meat and not a person when they put off your paperwork like it doesn't matter when or if i ever gets filed. Just had to vent a little bit. I was getting ready for this to be done and start moving throught hte steps of post op diet and getting the scales to go down instead of up. ~~ :cool2:
