Thats great!! Like I've said before "WE NEED TO BE OUR OWN ADVOCATE WHEN IT COMES TO OUR HEALTH".. I have one of those insurance coordinator's in my surgeon's office but it took me telling the surgeon that I was going to change surgeon's for her to move her butt and then call me 10 minutes after leaving the office to tell me she would be submitting my paper work.. So I'm so happy that you were able to get things moving along to start a new life, a healthier life..

@Debiosbo Hello, Medicare will not know anything it will be the insurance secretary in the surgeons office that will be able to help you and answer your questions, i had to change surgeons because his secretary was dragging her feet and was giving me the same sad story every time.. I called another surgeons office here in Philadelphia and their secretary was very helpful and stated they would transfer my information and just tweek some things.. Hope this helps..

Hello and welcome... Well i'm here in Philadelphia and the surgeons office stated they are waiting on a submission date for paper work because Medicare does not pre approve anything they need another guarantee that they will cover the surgery other than the Memo they posted on their Web site. She also stated it could take 60_90 days for a date.. I know bummer!! Sent from my SPH-D710 using VST

I know how you feel, I've been waiting since last Monday for someone to call me back.. They have all my paper work and then some but are stalling on submitting to the insurance company.. Very frustrating!!! Sent from my SPH-D710 using VST
