SO FRUSTRATED!

Hello,

I'm new to the forum world so bear with me. Any who, I went to my surgeons office for my pre-op and to get a surgery date. This company is soooooo unorganized! I was done with diet & nutrition last month... They dropped the ball with my insurance as far as updating it even though I kept telling them as of Jan 1st I had new insurance. Well, same company but now I have out of network coverage. Anywho they switched me surgeons and come to find out the soonest they have for surgery is March 14th* if a patient cancells, OR March 31st. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! This is ridiculous. I was done with my check list on the 5th of this month. My surgeon said he has an opening on Tuesday, yes that's 4 business days away... BUT I don't have my insurance approval yet. They just barely submitted TODAY. I'm so irritated. Anyone have experience with Cigna open access plan? I know we all hear the basic 5 - 10 business days with a max of 30 days to respond but I need to know does it really take this long?!
