Insurance Issues

Hey to all out there,

Just wondering if anyone is going through the same situation. I called Dr. A's office last week and they told me my paperwork was submitted for approval on May 18th.  I called last wed. May 23rd. They said to give it a week. Well here today is May 30th. Once again I called Dr. A's office and they told me they called the insurance company yesterday to check on it and the insurance company said they never received it. Even though Dr. A's office got a fax confirmtaion sheet it doesn't mean anything to the insurance company. They said they got it an hour ago and just sent it "upstairs for review" Hopefully I will have an answer they said in 48 hours? Just had to vent!!! Anyone else go through the same thing????? Thanks for reading....The saga continues....

Just wanted to say good luck and I am keeping you in my prayers. May you have that decision in 48 hours.

      It's ok to vent.    We are here for you.....Keep smiling, and try not to over analyze or you WILL drive yourself sick and crazy.   TRUST ME......BEEN THERE.......

I had my surgery with Dr. A on May 15th.  While I think he is fantastic and his office staff are very nice and helpful I have had a similar problem.  Before my surgery they said that they faxed paperwork to my employer but my employer said that they never received it.  Dr. A's office also had a fax receipt.  This happened again after surgery with my FMLA paperwork and again they had a fax receipt.  Both times I asked Dr A's office to re-fax the paperwork and then my employer did receive it.  The best advice I have is to stay on top of things.

Thanks eveyone that has posted a reply. I thought I was a little crazy for a second but what everyone says makes sense.  I will be dilligent about this paperwork. I appreciate all the responses. While I am coming to terms with this whole thing taking almost 3 years for IT IS TIME!!!!! I am so ready...I am just trying to set up who is going to take care of my family while I am off my feet for a little while.  I will keep everyone posted Thanks again.

Good Luck. I know how frustrating it can be. While luckily I was able to get it approved quickly. I have issues with our insurance on my sons stuff. They companies just dont get it. Hang in there you will get an answer soon.

Good luck and don't worry about being crazy since we are all just a little loco here.
