Anxiously waiting approval

[GMen88 70]

I'm stressed, y'all...

My surgeon's office was supposed to fax over my packet to insurance for approval. I called my insurance late this afternoon and they haven't received anything yet. Called my surgeon's office and was forwarded to the health coordinator that handles all paperwork. She never answered and kept getting voicemail. I left one message and decided to call it a day.

Super anxious to get the surgery and get started on my new life! Also, I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding in May and when I get my surgery plays a major role in getting my dress size, etc.

I hate not knowing! Lol. Should I continue to call. My surgeon's office and my insurance to check on progress on paperwork or should I just let things so and wait for an approval call?

I know how you feel! I have been waiting a week. I suggest to continue to call insurance daily until you confirm receipt and then space it out after. As for your surgeon's office, I think it's perfectly acceptable to call daily until you get a response if the packet was sent or not.

I was finally approved! My surgeon's office submitted my paperwork on 2/29 and I called insurance to verify that paperwork was received today (3/2) and they told me it was and my insurance approved it!!
