I thought I'd be nice and wait 2 weeks before I started to pester my insurance company, and when I called yesterday, they said there wasn't a chart on me. I got upset and called my surgeons office and spoke to the insurance person and she promised me she faxed it. She said she had TWO confirmations. Blah blah blah - she called and got the same story, so we had to re-submit everything again today. I am so frustrated, I could be half way throught this process by now. Oh well, I guess I just need to hurry up and wait. Thanks for reading - I just needed to vent.

Yep that crap happens a lot. I bugged my insurance every two days. But when I called the first time they couldn't find my stuff either, then the next day they magically found it... interesting.. My doctor's office told my insurance that I needed to hurry up and get approved because I had my surgery set for "X" date and they approved me in 8 days. Funny thing is they totally lied just to hurry up and get me approved. LOL. But, it worked.

I had the same thing happen... I waited 3 weeks and after bugging the doctors office I called my insurance company only to be told that they showed no request for a surgeory for me...

I proceeded to call my doctors office back and they investigated and that afternoon (tuesday) they called the insurance company and we had an approval by thursday evening!!!

So now that you know that you have the ball rolling for real heres to hoping you get a speedy response

I would call the insurance company every other day.
