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..

Keep the faith...we still have atleast another month of summer....stay on top of them...good luck!

It will be o.k. If I were you I would calmly speak to the person at your doctors office and state what you were told and the name of the person at medicare who told you the information. I would ask if she could submit the information since there is obviously not a submission date that will be sent to her. As stated above, we still have at least another month before school starts back. I went back to work the next week. I was back to work after 8 calendar days (which included weekends) and really I could have been back to work by day four. So it will be o.k.

Ask to speak with her supervisor or the Doctor.

I will do that, thanks for the advice.. I just emailed the Philadelphia regional CMS office for an official submition date since she's being such a B@ch.
