I am so frusterated. I hate insurance companies. I hate insurance companies! And if ONE MORE person tells me to "just be patient" I am gonna scream! There is no way to "just be patient." Not when you are a passionate person giving something that you believe in everything you have. It REQUIRES you to be persistant, inquiring (nicely) on a very frequent basis.
Well, it would be different if I didn't keep getting the run-around from the insurance company saying that they don't have my stuff and that the proper procedure hasn't been followed! I KNOW that it has, and I know that they have it. Why don't they just say that it is in review? Wouldn't that be easier on all of us?!?!!? I guess after what happened before with the "other" doctor's office I have become a little gun shy. (With good reason!!)
I just hate that this is costing me more time. Changing doctor's/clinics was the best thing I have done since I decided to have this done, but it has cost me another month. Another month of aching knees and hips... Another month of all the other "junk" that comes from all this excess baggage. I am just so ready to move forward and begin. I want to start healing, getting better. Certainly no one can blame me for that....
Thanks
I had to appeal and am currently waiting on that appeal.
As far as the initial consultation.....had no problem getting that. My bariatric surgeon (Dr. Wetter) and my PCP are in the same medical group and actually 2 doors down from each other in the same building. That wasn't bad....just took about 3-4 weeks to get the referral. The surgeon would not allow me to make an appt though until they got the referral completed...and then obviously I had to wait about 2-3 weeks after that to finally be seen.
It can take a while.
Thanks for your reply. :)
