So i'm waiting for my surgeons office to submit my paper work to medicare for approval so I can get my surgery date and the lady keeps telling me she doesn't have a submitting date from medicare!! sooooo I call medicare and they state that she could have submitted the day it was approved which was June 28, 2012.. so I ask myself WTF is going on here!!.. i'm sooooo freaking frustrated cause I told the surgeon that I needed surgery before the summer was over because the kids go back to school and it is harder for me to deal with!! that's why I started Allllll this in April!! i'm sooooo mad right now!! well thanks for Letting me vent..

Uhm, I dealt with the same type thing! I was told I would be able to have my surgery by the last week in June, but the whole paperwork/submitting stuff/communication between doctors really slowed things down! I started this process in November of '11. I literally had to call doctors offices everyday for three weeks to get things done! I feel your pain!

My surgery is a week from today, so now it feels totally worth it!

Its frustrating cause I called with all the information I received from the lady of Medicare and the drs secretary annoyingly tells me she will follow protocol and wait for the submitting date from CMS.. Its sooo frustrating..
