  1. I would seems u been waiting way too long if something don't happen soon I would ask for a supervisor
  2. I don't see why not...... Some places charge for copies but if uwanted them I don't see why they wouldn't give u them or have u sign a release of records........ As far as fax cover sheet I'm not sure depends on companies policy since its their information on it.... Doesn't hurt to ask them I would if they don't get to the bottom of it ask for a supervisor that's just crazy long
  3. Finally, Lolz there's barely anyone from sd
  4. O wow yes 12 is pretty high... Best of luck to u.... I would ask the surgeon next time I see him what he thinks you should do and base ur decision off of that....
  5. Referral coordinator for pcp
  6. That's horrible.... I was diagnosed a year and a half ago with thyroid disease however still till this day it's not under control even though they keep highering the dose.... And my surgery is still on.... I'm guessing ur tsh must of been super high...... I would just make sure u take it everyday I'm sometimes forget.... Best of luck to u
  7. Oh my goodness I'm so sorry I would totally be frustrated I sure hope they approve u... Having a bmi of 40for over 2 years is ridiculous....... I have no medical documentation before I started everything except for a uti... My insurance did not require 2 yrs of showing my bmi..... I sure hope they approve it anyways
  8. Ya for sure I would check on it tomorrow good luck
  9. No way @blondesreamer84 u were beautiful before,but u look so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I look half as good as u when I have mine done
  10. I'm think though they may have been pertaining to Oct Dec of 2015
  11. I got my surgery date as soon as I finished my 6 months of nut and everything I then made an appointment with surgeon on a Friday and on Monday they submitted to insurance and Wed I was approved and given my surgery date..... But I've heard of some getting there surgery date before their approval....I have to wait till Feb... But that's cuz my surgeon is booked out....some people may becash pay though
  12. My surgery date is Feb 16th.... The closer,i get the scarder I get
  13. For sure....your very welcome ????
  14. I definitely plan on staying smoke,free,after surgery I don't want issues with healing at all....... Thank u guys all so much!!!! And happy New year ...
  15. O wow..... I hope they get ur insurance stuff together soon
  16. My surgery is Feb 16th.... I've been waiting for this for a long time and now I'm starting to freak out...... I keep wondering if I'm gonna have complications, leaks, pneumonia.... I'm pretty healthy I have no comorbidities bmi is 46 but I do smoke.... Not a lot maybe 1 pack every 4days ionlysmoke at work.... I do plan on giving it up before surgery but I can't help but think it may cause me issues... Anyone have similar thoughts that either did or didn't have complications?
  17. That's horrible..... Ugh ...... I don't know what I would do at this point how long have u been awaiting for approval
  18. And how long has it been?
  19. I hope it goes fast for u as well...waiting is a pain . I feel bad for m_kuiphoff... Hope his hurrys up too
  20. That would be so much easier....unfortunately at my job we are not aloud to email anything with patient information because email can be hacked and then we would be in trouble for violating hipaa
  21. Huh....I've never heard that...I wonder how they get info then.....I work for a pcp so I do referrals for people to go see specialists my job would be impossible without facing But I'm if it's diff than what they do for surgery.... But she should of followed up on the status of ur auth....i hope u hear something soon that wait is a killer .......
  22. I would call ur doctors office back and let them know what ur insurance is saying so they can refax it..... I'm sure they did fax it.... It's just so many offices either has someone miss place taxes or some are electronic faxes and will show sent on one side but won't come through on the other..... I'm saying this from experience I also do authorizations for a living and at times a gotta fax things several times..... So definitely call ur dr again and just let her know that u spoke with ur insurance and they claim to not have received it would u mind refaxing it.... Sometimes we gotta be persistent to get our stuff done right......best of luck please let me know how it goes
