Now it's October something...
So I've been waiting for my surgeon's office to hear from my HMO provider that I have coverage again. I thought I would be hearing from them yesterday or today to give me a new surgery date. I was wrong.
In fact, I found out on my own today that my surgeon's office wouldn't be getting verification of coverage from my HMO until 10/1 because that's when my Medicaid plan rolls over to them from state medicaid.
So I called my surgeon's office and got the answer I was expecting. They still can't give me a new date until they have the verification from the HMO since they are who I have the pre-authorization from.
So I won't know a surgery date til 10/3 at the earliest... which means my surgery will probably now be October something, NOT 9/27.
If this crap keeps up I'll never have my surgery. Trying to keep my head up, guys, but I'm having a hard time. I hate having everything up in the air and not knowing if/when I'll have my surgery. Starting to feel like I'm doomed to live in this obese body for the rest of my life.

"Gina - I don't even think our Department of Human Services has an ombudsman. I'll just wait, I guess."
By law they must have an ombudsman and must provide you with the contact information for that person when requested. Although I believe they would be called the "state ombudsman" rather than DSHS specific. If you are willing to become your own best advocate I could find that information for you, you just have to be willing to do the talking and the work...? I would only need to know your state and county...
