ReneBean 3 Posted September 16, 2005 Well, you do have the Guilt Factor working in your favor, now - but if they don't get back to you pretty quickly, I would take my medical records and run. Sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbblampwork 0 Posted September 16, 2005 I would be so mad too. I have been staying on top of my insurance and docs office. I think they may approve me just to get me from not calling anymore. I understand your frustrations. I would only be seeing red. Good luck to you. Maybe with the oversite they may get the answer sooner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mahelpme 24 Posted September 16, 2005 Girl, I know how you feel, I was supposed to have surgery on Mon, the 19th, yesterday I got a call from my doctors office that he quit the practice as of today.,how tacky!!! now I am rescheduled for the 26th with his partner who did my endoscopy but can be believe how incredibily insensitive and weird??? God help us all. I'll keep you in my prayers. If they don't come through for me on the 26th I will seek another doctor. To me that is just unacceptable. I've been approved since July 18. The anxiety of this all is just too much, plus I'm out of work. God help us. Take care Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I'llsucceed 1 Posted September 17, 2005 Well, you do have the Guilt Factor working in your favor, now - but if they don't get back to you pretty quickly, I would take my medical records and run. Sorry! Ditto Wishing you luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AnotherMe 0 Posted September 17, 2005 Hello HappyK, I was in the same boat.... I went to a seminar with Dr Spiegel on 3/19 and two months later was still waiting to hear ANY word. The first time I called, they said there would be no news for another month. I called again and they said they would contact me when/if a letter arrived from the insurance co. They NEVER asked my name or volunteered to look at my file. I called the insurance co directly and found out they NEVER RECEIVED THE REQUEST. I already knew it would probably not be covered, but they certainly did not care that I was willing to self pay. It's now six months later and they have not bothered to follow up with me. Are they overworked, overbooked, etc? Well, maybe he should stop running commercials and pay attention to every interested person who attends his seminar!!! Anyhow, in early May I went to Dr Spivak's seminar at the Surgery Center and scheduled an office visit for the end of May. His office staff is wonderful! It's like night and day! I had all of the necessary tests done by the 2nd week of June, but have been trying to get my finances in order. I am now prepared and have scheduled my surgery for Oct 10. I can't wait!! I wish you all the best, send me a PM if you have any questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
