I am just so angry at my primary as he's had my paperwork that was needed by today, for over a week now and still hasn't faxed or sent anything over to my surgeons office so that she can submit for approval. I will now have to wait until Monday as Stacy *the one who submits and takes care of the approvals* is out until then..she even tried to call my pcp's office today and of course they are closed..I am just so upset and I even spoke to the office last week regarding this and that I needed it done asap! I don't want to be ignorant to them but I am pretty much on my last nerve here..any suggestions? my therapist has cleared me and faxed the letter the same day. I have my dietician class on the 26th and am hoping to have surgery in April mid month..BUT I need my clearance and paperwork from my primary!

If no luck Monday, show up at their offices! I would for sure! They care, but not as much as you do.

That has got to be so frustrating! I wish you the best of luck. And I agree with the above poster: go totheir office if you have to.

I didn't trust my doctors staff enough to fax over my sonogram results or letter if necessity..I gave them a week to write it and get the results...called them and had them make copies..I drove the papers down to my surgeon myself so I know they got it

Thanks everyone! I do appreciate it..and I am going in there tomorrow morning and telling them it HAS to be done by Mon. and faxed or I will p/up and take the paper myself..yes..one paper..one simple thing..and they've had it now since last Tues. the 5th. I am not an ignorant person but I feel like I'm being treated poorly and I won't stand for that. btw how do I get a ticker?? I've tried but it didn't work..

I had the exact same problem with my PCP. The solution was to go into see them last Tuesday and again today. They finally sent the paperwork to my surgeon today. The solution is to stay on their butts like a dirty diaper until they get sick of seeing you. Good luck.....

I did just get home from a nerve study that had to be done at my primary's office so.. on the way out I seen him and he asked me if I was getting ready for surgery? I said, Yes..I just need that paper...he said I can pick up Mon. so am happy...
