So I finished everything and met with my surgeon last week. He said the paperwork would be submitted and once he receives an approval, his nurses will contact me to schedule a surgery date and the last bit of tests. That was last Thursday.

Of course, I felt like I missed a few things when we were talking so I called to see if I was supposed to be doing anything.

First she pulled my chart and asked if I started my pre-op diet. I said no. Then she asked if I had a date. I said no. She places me on hold and comes back telling me I need to do the 6 months of nut visits and my psych eval. I sighed and told her it was already completed. She placed me on hold again.

A few minutes later she comes back and says my paperwork is all set to be submitted. SERIOUSLY! What have you been sitting on it for and WTH would have happened had I not called??? *woosah*

So...tomorrow I'll call my insurance company to confirm receipt and impatiently wait.

Kaiser peeps....about how long was your wait?

I know BCBS has up to 30 days to review your submission. Mine went in Wed.

I can't believe they put you through so much only to find your doc office has been sitting on your paperwork! That would have pissed me off! LOL. At least I knew that my paperwork would not be submitted until Wed (5 days after I completed everything.) I'm glad you got it all worked out now.

Good luck!
