Recommended Posts

I havent hear anything from my Dr. or my Ins. I have been calling twice a week for the last three weeks trying to get answers.. but just kept getting the run around.. This morning I had my Husband call and kick some butt!!! He stayed on that phone with them until he heard something worth while of being on the phone at all. UHC has all the paper work.. ohhhh but it was in the wrong Dept. sitting there to rot i guess. Finally this morning it went to the right Dept. and they are putting a RUSH on it. They better rush it im in a RUSH to save my life and health!!!! I guess I just wanted to talk!!

Good luck and good on you for being persistent! As an insurance broker I know that 99% of the delays are due to paperwork sitting around on someone's desk. Congratulations on getting it moving!!

You'll do it Trish- I don't think its out of line to call every other day.. I know that another member here had the same thing happen- her work just sat on the wrong desk for a month. When someone sweet finally walked it down the hall she was approved in 1 week!!! So you will be too- Good Luck friend!

Trish, good for you! If they deny it, appeal. I did. Whatever it takes, it will definitely be worth it. Hang in there, girl!!

Trish....how long did you wait until you called...they just sent mine in this week and said it could take up to 3 to 4 weeks but it was my understanding the insurance company has to give you a reply within 3 weeks (normally . . unless it is sitting on someone's desk...YIKES!)

grammi.....They have 30 days... my paper work was sent in on Jan 18th I started to call a week after to see if they even got the paper.. but i was persistant with the calls.. Last week they were telling me they had it.. but thats all... untill today i just got mad enough to wait on that phone until i knew everything.. you have to ask every question you can and talk to as many people until you get that one person that will care enough to talk to you. Good Luck with it.. let me know how things turn out for you!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
