Primary physician not supportive

I have finished all my requirements; nutritionist appointments, psych evaluation, my surgeon's office calls says they have not receive the letter of support from primary. So, I've been calling every day, first they never received anything from the surgeon, now since they sent it again, I'm getting no call backs. The surgeon can not submit to insurance without it.

Any suggestions, does anyone know if I change doctors, if the new one would support it being a new patient.

Just hate to think I've gone through the whole process for nothing. It's very frustrating, the office staff at my primary are getting rude with me. Blahhhhh. Sorry had to vent

  • Had you discussed this with your PCP before at any time? Perhaps its time to make an appointment and take the form that they need to sign to the PCP and have them sign it in front of you and give it

  • This makes me think the delays might not be him. pam

  • Set up an appointment a sap and have him complete the form while you are there.

Just got back from seeing my primary, he was waiting for more info from the surgeon; my labs, psych report, nutritionist report. He said he was under the impression that I still had to finish a few appointments. So he is sending a letter to the surgeon. Phewwee. Now it's really a waiting game

See, no biggy. ;) I do agree with your frustration. If that's all he was waiting for why not communicate it?
