I wonder if I should call the surgeon's office? My last visit was last Wed and I emailed the coordinator and asked her to email me when the paperwork goes out, so that I could call the insurance company. I still have not heard from the coordinator to inform me that she's forwarded everything to the insurer. Should I email her again or should I just wait to hear from her? What do you guys think?

If it was me I would call make she don't need anything and to kno what's going on .. It's nerve wrecking to assume ... Good luck

I have not heard anything so far. I think i am going to call the insurance company tomorrow. Good luck to all of you that sent your paperwork in!

Good luck to u to Beatriz

yea they don't seem to realize that we need answers asap.... the waiting will make you crazy... But it is worth the wait, All of you just hang in there it will be worth it. When you see the results all this will be history..

I am so disappointed because paperwork was sent in May 21 and my case still pending. Over a week ago I was told my paperwork somehow got overlooked, then Friday the insurance lady at BCBS told me she would call today but instead I end up calling them again only to find out that Friday...the insurance company sent another request asking my doctor for medical work. Its bad enough I'm dealing with relationship issues now this.
