Emilie1 3 Posted August 8, 2008 Why is your wait so long? Have you called the insurance company to see if they have all of the information that they need? Some where on here I read that the surgens office can cause delays by not sending in all of the required information. Good luck and remember you can always call and see where your referal is at with the insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glowlite 0 Posted August 13, 2008 I called to ask what the hold up was or if they needed anything from me. I was told my office never put the billing code or attached some of the clinical documents. So I had to call the office who told me the insurance company lost them, as if this journey isnt hard enough. So for now I guess I keep waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
