Does having Medicare as Primary insurance and Medicaid as Secondary Insurance make the filing a little quicker?

[ThinnerMe2015 14]

I have both Insurances Medicare and Medicaid, my paper work for a referral is just being done for a approval, then I was told have to have the psych eval. I've already met wit a dietitian for the past 16 months. So after meeting with the psych Dr. and if he clears me does the rest go kinda fast to get to the surgery point after that? Please I am open for all advice from the ones whom already made it pass my point...Thanks

You will get the best information about the timeline by asking your surgeon's office, and the surgical coordinator if your office has one . Many offices run on their timeline and not so much on ours (the patients). I was trying desperately to speed the process up and no matter what I did to get everything done, my surgery still wasn't scheduled until 11/11. I started everything in May. So my best advice is to call your surgeons office and ask what their timeline is and when you can expect your surgery to be scheduled. Sorry I can't help you more and good luck!

I haven't even met with the surgeon yet I will see one of them tomorrow at the seminar, but haven't had my psych eval yet either so I will be glad when I can go meet with the physician I know who I want. I just finished up a month ago with the year long meeting with a dietitian, so now waiting on referral to see psych Dr.
