Dr. Office has me Furious

[A. Stoot 85]

I completed all of my requirements since July 10....WHY am I finding out today that my Dr office is still sitting on my file waiting submission. I could not believe it when she told me my file was gonna be submitted one day this week for approval, she had no excuse as to why they haven't sent off my paperwork, she only said that it takes up to 30 days for approval, which they had already told me that. So I called BCBSIL just to check and well, no paperwork submitted....I am just fuming!!!!!

I feel your pain. Boy, do I.

Eventually, it'll all work out. But nobody cares about it going fast nearly as much as you (and I) do.

I feel your pain. My doctor's office is slow as well. It took them a week to mail me my surgery date and pre-op diet. BCBS took less than a week to approve me so hopefully you can make up lost time. I was on a time crunch so it drove me crazy with holdups and I had a bunch. Keep thinking positive thoughts

I agree with VSGANN 2014, that it is not as important to them as it is to you. These delays are so ridiculous and unnecessary. My doctor sent mine in the day after my last appointment with him. BCBS Federal approved it in two days. So hang in there and stay on top of them. They expect certain results from you, so you should be able to expect certain standards of customer service.

Thanks you guys???? yes it is frustrating and I have an appointment on Friday to unfill my band because its giving me the blues, waking up at 3 am because of fluids building up in my throat, acid reflux so bad, feels like my throat is on fire. Thanks for the encouragement

Hopefully it will all be over soon. Hopefully the ball will get rolling quicker after your appointment on Friday. Good luck

Had my appointment yesterday, my Dr took all the saline out my band, and my paperwork has finally been submitted to BCBS ????
