approved almost 2 months ago..new surgeon instead?!

I was completely done with my surgery requirements Dec 23rd 2014.. I got my approval early January. I found out that the surgeons office was changing hospitals & they would be scheduling surgeries within a week or two.

Each week I have called to get updates just to be told the same thing..hopefully this next week or so! ::facepalm::

Now, going on 2 months later we still do not have a surgery date! They arent scheduling anyone yet! Last they told me there was 35-40 people a head of me on their list too.

So, even if they start scheduling in the next few weeks it will still be a few more months out before they get to me! Frustrating!

What I decided to do is go see another surgeon. This office told me they have had several people from my other surgeons office calling to schedule with them instead.

What I need to do:

1- get all of my records from surgeon #1's office & get it to the new surgeon

2- get an authorization from ins to meet with new surgeon

3- meet with new surgeon & go over medical history

4. the next day they will submit to insurance for a new approval

They said they schedule about a week or two out from the approval date. Its still a few week wait but at least I know I wil get in for surgery vs this waiting game..

okay rant over. ha!
