Frustrated Urhhh ... Venting..

[babygirl_sandy 85]

So i'm waiting for my surgeons office to submit my paper work to medicare for approval so I can get my surgery date and the lady keeps telling me she doesn't have a submitting date from medicare!! sooooo I call medicare and they state that she could have submitted the day it was approved which was June 28, 2012.. so I ask myself WTF is going on here!!.. i'm sooooo freaking frustrated cause I told the surgeon that I needed surgery before the summer was over because the kids go back to school and it is harder for me to deal with!! that's why I started Allllll this in April!! i'm sooooo mad right now!! well thanks for letting me vent..

It will be o.k. If I were you I would calmly speak to the person at your doctors office and state what you were told and the name of the person at medicare who told you the information. I would ask if she could submit the information since there is obviously not a submission date that will be sent to her. As stated above, we still have at least another month before school starts back. I went back to work the next week. I was back to work after 8 calendar days (which included weekends) and really I could have been back to work by day four. So it will be o.k.

Ask to speak with her supervisor or the Doctor.
