Sab964 10 Posted February 28, 2013 I am still waiting I've been calling like everyone says to do but basically have been told to stop calling because it wont help haha! They have to give an answer by next Thursday that will be 15 days. But it has been torture! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurselis 4 Posted March 1, 2013 My insurance coordinator called and confirmed she sent everything in today.. So now the waiting begins! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jac1970 39 Posted March 6, 2013 My coordinator emailed me Monday and said all my stuff was submitted. She said normally 2 wks but not usually that long and she'll check progress in a few days. They are a wonderful office to work with! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sab964 10 Posted March 8, 2013 Good luck!! Hope it doesn't take long because from experience the waiting is miserable! Tomorrow will be 3 weeks or 15 business day and I SHOULD have an answer! My ins coordinator doesn't seem like the type to be pushy or on the phone calling them very much but she said if I don't hear tomorrow she will... We will see.. I'm getting discouraged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

healthy2bmomof3 0 Posted March 12, 2013 I am waiting. I have Tricare but needed a referral to go to the MTF that does VSG by us... I am on 4 business days now. However with all the cutbacks our base care coordinator said it takes anywhere to 3-5 business days longer to get it pushed through and an extra 1-2 weeks at the other MTF. So in a month I hope to be able to make my appointment to see if the surgeon will approve me! The waiting is so hard, I try not to be too excited my doc said I should be accepted however when I talk to the program's coordinator the surgeon decides so even if I fall within all the categories I am supposed to if he doesn't like me or want to do it; it is over!

healthy2bmomof3 0 Posted March 24, 2013 Fort Bragg, it is closer to me but may try Walter Reed as we are semi close to that and the hubs is friends with a few surgeons there from his time at Wounded Warriors. Nervous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
