The Waiting Game - Question



Recommended Posts

I had my last NUT appointment today. The NUT told me that the ins coordinator would start gathering all of my clearances and putting my package together to submit to insurance.

How long did that take for you? I ask because my insurance coordinator has been kind of crappy, and I've been trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but I'm really concerned that she is going to make this already ridiculous waiting period even longer. I wonder how long I should wait for her to submit my package before I start harassing.

I'm not sure what insurance you have but I'd say give her 10 business days. If you haven't heard anything by then give her a call to see what the status is.

10 business days to submit the paperwork? Good lord....

I know 10 days seems like and eternity after all of the appointments we have during this process but, be thankful that your insurance doesn't require more. Based on your signature it's been roughly 2 months for you?

I will give insurance all the time they need. But, to give my insurance coordinator at my surgeons office 10 days before she even submits the paperwork for approval, that seems extreme. I guess I will wait and see.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
