Who to talk to regarding insurance



Recommended Posts

Hello

After you submitted to insurance and called to get an update as to where it was in the process, who did you speak to at the insuranace company. Was it member services, or a supervisor, or who?

Thanks!

  • Your doctors office should update you; however if you call the insurance company you can tell them you are checking on an authorization and they should give you to the right department... also you may want to get a case manager to help with all this...

When it's summitted,you'd want to speak to someone in the clinical services department. This is the department that gives the determination.

The coordinator at my OS office took care of everything. And all the while I bugged her, she kept her cool and was very nice and thorough getting the approval. I never spoke to or contacted the insurance.

The coordinator in my suegeon's

Office has been phenomenal. She takes all my calls or calls me back within an hour. I called the insurance company today and member services told me it was under review.

      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...

        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.
