Ugh! Insurance!

Tomorrow will be two weeks that my insurance will have my paperwork.  I called last Tues. and found out that the paperwork had been sent to predetermination rather than precertification.  She said that precertification would make a decision in 36-48 hours.  I got a new fax # and left a message at the surgeon's insurance office.  I called today and was told that the paperwork was still in predetermination, which will take 3-4 weeks for a decision.  Then, that decision will be faxed to the dr.'s office, who will then fax it to the precertification office.  I was told that my dr. didn't want to bypass the predetermination, so here I am stuck.

I called the insurance office at the surgeon's and left a message to see if there was an explanation handling the approval this way.  Maybe this is a sure-fire way to get an approval.  I haven't heard from them yet. 

Have you heard of something like this?

Dear Sue:

All insurance is different.  I know how frustrating this can be, but hang in there, your day WILL come!

 

Tell someone that you love them!
