This is not about insurance (: I was wondering how long did it take for your PCP's office to send over your medical records to weight loss clinic? I signed my release on 09/06/2016 and the surgeon still has not received me. I did 3 months of diet visits with him and the new place is wanting me to come and do 3 months with them since they have not received my records. I am in jeopardy of losing my job because of all the extra things I have had to go through. I can not afford to miss work and see them again. I called my doctors office and they said it takes 2 weeks its been a month. I am starting to freak out now.

Thank you in advance

@@hudjess It should not take that long to submit your medical records. I would call them back and explain that you have an appointment with a specialist and need your records ASAP - and tell them you will come and pick them up if need be. Most places have electronic records and it would take 10 minutes to print your information.

Thank you, they seriously keep giving me the run around. I just don't want to lose my job. With being a mom and always having a sick child as well as going to countless appointments to satisfy blue shield I am out of options and I cant lose my job.

I would request that they fax the verification to YOU and then you turn it in to the bariatric practice.

Every insurance is different. I have Kaiser and they have one localized system they use. Endocrinology, Nutrition, and Behavioral all approved me in the same week. I then called my surgeon's office for the consultation and had appointment with to set up a date in like 2 weeks.
