To Sad Right Now

Well I was under the impression that I was approved but I was wrong. The reason I thought I was approved because I called my insurance company 3weeks ago and I spoke to someone and they said I was approved so I was excited. So I've been calling my doctors office to see why haven't they contacted me to start my diet or to give me a date but I haven't got any response from they I leave messages everyday but nothing, so any way I called my insurance company bac and they tell me my case is on hold and I'm like what? Someone told me that I was approved but do anyone know what on hold means

  • You might want to seriously consider switching surgeons. Every day you don't get a return call is one day an attentive surgeon's office could have you closer to your surgery.

  • Don't lose hope! Things will fall into place just KEEP CALLING! Dont worry about getting on anyone's nerves. Make those phone calls until this is resolved.

I am glad you got to speak to someone. At this point I would have spoke to the janitor to get through LOL. Hopefully all will get taken care of fast and hopefully they can earn your trust.

Sometimes we have to do things we are reluctant to do, are the other doctor in the same office.

Remember this is your health and your life if you don't like the surgeon get another one it's your right

SO MY ADVOCATE JUST CALLED AND SAID THAT THE PSYCH EVAUL WASN'T ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT WAS DONE BY A LCSW AND NOT PHD SO MY INSURANCE DENIED ME AND SAID THEY WON'T PAY FOR MY SURGERY UNLESS I GET THE RIGHT PSYCH EVAUL, SO MY SURGEON OFFICE HAS A PSYCH AND THE VISIT ONLY TAKE 15MINS AFTER FILLING OUT A LOT OF PAPER WORK BUT AT THE TIME I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY BUT NOW I DO, SO IS THIS A EASY FIX OR WILL I BE WAITING MONTHS ?

Yes very easy fix!!! Go to your surgeons psychologist and do her psych evaluation and let them resubmit!!!

Once you get in to see the psych and she writes up her report your advocate can resubmit. Shouldn't take months unless the psych us booked up like mine was and took me a couple months to get an appointment. I go October 3rd for my psych evaluation which takes all day about 5 hours. Suppose to take some kind of test then will talk to her. Then she grades the test and writes out her evaluation which can take a day or two for her to do

this psych has a website where you have to watch about 8 videos and fill out everything online so when you see her it's in and out
So I still can't get no one at my surgeons office my patient advocate goes straight to voicemail all week' date=' I called my insurance company and they saying my case is on hold waiting on a decision and they told me to call my surgeon office and tell them to call in cause they have a line that only doctors call and get detailed info and I told they my doctors office don't communicate with me and they was like sorry you have to try to get thru to you surgeons office cause they have detailed information, wow this is crazy all I can do is wait on them to call me when they get ready I guess smh[/quote']

Holy crap! I hate the run around. I'm one of those crazy b***ches that would drive up to them & say well we gonna get this process going or should I pull you out of that desk.

Ph gosh cyn that is easy I would love it if mine was like that
