Coordinator Not Returning Calls :(



Recommended Posts

I had my last appt Thursday the 9th. My surgeon advised me to call the coordinator on Monday. She said she was still waiting on a letter from my PCP and my last appointment. I advised her of the date of the appointment, she said it would be a few days to get the paperwork in. Called my PCP they said they sent the letter on the 8th... they called her and left a message. I also called the coordinator and left a message asking for a call if she needed anything else. As of today no one has heard from her. I'm hoping this is a good sign. The wait is driving me crazy. :(

Email her. I kept after mine until she finally emailed me back saying the paperwork was submitted.

Ditto to KZBEN's suggestion. My coordinator never called me back if I had a question, but she always responded right away to email! If you still get no response, drive her crazy with emails and voice messages. You know what they say about the squeeky wheel!

I had to go to the office mngr. I had to call the insurance and got the approval put into the system over the phone during the same call!!! I couldn't wait for my coordinator to continue to get paid for not providing a service apparently I wasn't the only one and heads are now turning in the office. I digress I am glad I am in no way bashful or intimidated by others lack of movement ;()

Cheers

Hang in there. I know the wait is frustrating. I had a similar problem with the insurance coordinator. She is basically the gate keeper and refused to return my calls. So, I started emailing and calling every.single.day. I was never mean or anything, always nice and chipper. I honestly think she got sick of my sweet as sugar messages that kindly reminded her that it was my 5th or whatever call. LOL

Hang in there!! :)

same hear - coordinator never returned my calls - so I emailed and started putting 'read receipts' on the emails - then I would call about 2 hours after I knew she had read the email. it's very frustrating....

I spoke with the lady from the psych eval... she said she would "try" to get the paperwork sent sometimne this week. What?? This week?? I advised her my insurance coordinator has been waiting ofr this last piece of information for over a week and if she could sent it ASAP it would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't know what else to do! This process has been stalled several times becasue of drs taking vacations and I'm trying to get this surgery scheduled as soon as I can.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
