How Long Did It Take For Surgeon To Submit To Insurance Co?

[vivienvixon 1]

I don't mean to b***h but, I am still waiting for the surgeon to submit my paper work to my insurance company! I completed my 6 month pre op diet with my physician May 25th and will I'm still waiting! I have pretty much put everything on hold, as I dont know if I will be approved or not!

Thoughts anyone?

My Docotr submitted everything as soon as they recieved the last approval that was needed. Are you sure they are not waiting for anything from your 6 month diet from your doctor? I would call. you are not being a B**** you are trying to do something for you!!

Have you spoken with the insurance coordinator at your surgeon's office? He or she should be able to tell you why the paperwork hasn't been submitted. I'd definitely give them a call. Let us know what you find out.

Still waiting! I can't believe this has been going on since May 25th. I don't want to keep calling the surgeons office. I dont know why it would take this long to submitt my paper work to insurance. Does anyone know anything about the submission process? Is there a lot of paper work?

The same thing happened to me! I eventually called 2-3 times a day. My records were just sitting on the coordinator's desk. I was beyond furious. Good luck to you!
