So Irritated...

My surgeon's office is strict about not sending a packet off for insurance until it is complete. I totally understand as it would waste a lot of time back and forth...I was submitted last week and called today to check the status...apparently, I'm on hold because the insurance company had to call to request medical records... really?! I sent three years' worth to the physician's office...and now the hold up is something you have but didn't send?! UGH

I believe everything is done in Gods timeing and will be well worth waiting for. Although I know the waiting game can be stressful. Good luck hope you get your date soon:-)

Nice going!! Glad they finally got their act together for you. Now do you have to do a liquid diet prior to surgery?

Good luck! Some people don't think of how others would feel about waiting for their paper work. Hope everything goes smoother

Oh poo! Just read further haha

It has always amazed me how we think and speak in days and those that control so many things in our lives talk weeks and months. The waiting is the hardest part.

Also very frustrating when we have done everything we can to help these processes along, and those with the power goof up.

Last Friday I called Insurance Gal to see if they had everything (It was supposed to have been a week since it was to be submitted) and she put me on hold, came back and said my chart was still in the drawer, the counselor had not given it to her to submit, so she said she would do it right away. Well here is another week. Trying to be patient.

Keep on them or they will forget about you and your paperwork. Call each day if you have to.

I got a similar letter today saying they needed more information, information I know is in the file. So I too am on hold until I can figure out what they want and probably go and get it myself and hand deliver it to the surgeons office. I thought I had supplied them with everything, somebody along the way has dropped the ball, probably a record was not received or it wasn't worded correctly so the hoops continue, I am so frustrated IF I COULD JUMP THROUGH HOOPS (literally).I would be in better health and wouldn't need the surgery, lol. got to find some humor in this somewhere.

Ugh!! I am sorry you have to go through all this hoopla!! My luck is same. Everyone says I am always negative well I have had 43 years with my luck so I know how things go with me LOL. Nothing has ever went perfectly smooth on time the way it suppose to go

seems like we always have to do things twice to get things done. I am just so tired. And I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I will bounce back with some hope tomorrow. Tonight I am aggravated. lol
