How often did you call insurance?

[likemeagain 5]

I got a call today from my insurance nurse educator. She asked me some questions about my physicians follow up support program. She also gave me my reference number and the phone number to call to check the status of my paperwork. So I called and learned that they have everything, but it is still being reviewed. I did learn March 21st is the expected date of surgery they were given. So curious how often I should call to check my status. I want to call everyday, but don't want to be too over the top.

ZERO.,, My bariatric center did this all for me. I would check with the people your hiring to take care of your procedure. They must have a business administrator.

I called twice a week until they told me I was denied. When I reapplied, I didn't call them at all, then one day I get a call from my surgeon's office telling me I was approved. Surgery date tomorrow...actually in about 7 hours from now!!!

My paperwork was submitted on a Thursday, I called Friday & on Monday, I was told someone would review it Wednesday afternoon (they have 7 days, I was told). I called Wednesday and they said by Thursday afternoon . I called Thursday afternoon, no decision urrrg! I called first thing Friday morn.......approved! Through the whole waiting game I couldn't eat/sleep or concentrate! I was a mess! I lost most of my weight waiting on the approval (mind you I had to go through six months of insurance requirements)! As soon as I got the approval I called the scheduler. She was happy I called her (she was swamped). I got the last appointment for January. Otherwise I would have had to wait until March! Moral of the story....do whatever makes you comfortable!

Why were you denied the first time?
