I would call. My surgery coordinator submitted on March 6th, insurance actually approved me on March 7th. I called the insurance company on March 11th and was told that I was approved. Still no word from my doctors office and when I did call they just said be patient because they just submitted it. March 13th I called insurance company and had them fax over my approval letter then faxed that to my doctors office. The doctors office then called and scheduled all my testing and set surgery for March 31st on that same day. My point is if I had called on the 7th like I wanted to I could have had my surgery a week sooner. If I had waited on my doctors office I would probably have been just getting notified some time next week and would be having surgery in April if there was even room for me then. So make the call.
