sxevan9 0 Posted September 4, 2008 I'm so happy :crying:.. I finally have everything needed for surgery. I just faxed all my information to the Drs. Office and I' m hoping that they will have a quick turn around submitting everything to the insurance company. OMG has this been a process. You can't imagine how many times I've been on the brink of just screaming :mad: because of this process, but all in all it was well worth it .. I swear I know I gave them more than enough information so hopefully the doctors office won't drag and the insurance company will get back soon. I'm going to give them (insurance company) 10 days before I start calling them.. I will probably put them on my cell phone as a speed dial ... they better not mess with me. Okay just wanted to share... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aprilapple 1 Posted September 5, 2008 good luck on your approvals. I started calling everyday from the time that my paperwork was sent off. I mean everyday sometimes twice a day ! It took 2.5 weeks for approval. It would have been less but they lost some of my info. It will happen for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted September 8, 2008 good luck on your approvals. I started calling everyday from the time that my paperwork was sent off. I mean everyday sometimes twice a day ! It took 2.5 weeks for approval. It would have been less but they lost some of my info. It will happen for you! That's what I did! I called the afternoon the insurance person at my surgeon's office said she faxed it. I called and emailed every day. It took 6 days! I am now just waiting for surgery to come. Good luck on your approvals! Aprilapple, good luck on your surgery Tuesday!:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sxevan9 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Well I called the insurance company today and low and behold that secretary at the doctors office has not even sent my paperwork yet. Can you imagine how pissed I am right now :thumbdown:. So of course I used my professional voice and called the doctors office and she said "Oh I'm waiting for the nurse to tell me this everything" granted this is the samething she said Thursday when I faxed. So she was suppose to call me back once she talked to the nurse..that was 9:30 am this morning and by 2:20 I called back..and of course she hasn't had a chance to talk to the nurse because he is in clinic all day, but she assured me she would call me before the office closed today. How much you want to bet she didn't call me. So first thing tomorrow morning who will be the first call she will receive. Doesn't these people know how hard it was to do this six month weight managment to just sit on my paperwork. Sorry for being so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
