So my Dr's office submitted my paperwork on the 12th of August. My insurance took two weeks on it, then said they were missing proof that i had had 3 office visits during my 6 month nutrition program. The office left out 2 of the three visits.

So the office re-submitted last week. I'm praying the insurance will not have anymore requests and that the office did their part to the fullest this time.

I really hate being at "their" mercy. Has anyone else had to deal with this? (I have Reagence BC/BS PPO)

DesertRose, I think we all have had some version of this frustration. I got very upset with my insurance coordinator more than once during the process. In fairness to the insurance coordinators out there, there is a ton of documentation to submit for each patient with a very anxious patient calling or emailing. The only way to get a quicker surgery, is to self pay. You will get your approval, just try to distract yourself during the wait.

Yes, we sit and wait& wait & wait. The good thing is it gives us more time to get our heads on straight. To learn all we can & practice some of our new habits.

Love your name. I have a lot of Desert Roses in my backyard.

Good luck you should hear soon. I probably have at least another week ; /
