I checked my status with UHC

Jun 26, 2009

So here's the deal, I got to be honest with everyone!!! I am a nervous wreck. This got to be the most difficult part by far. All I keep hearing at the moment is the words "wait, wait,wait, pending, pending, pending" and it's all driving me up the WALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So today I called UHC about a hour ago and here's what they told me. We have a pending date of July 31st for Memorial Herman Hospital. So I was like what does that mean? So the  rep told me "the case nurse is still reviewing my case and it will be sometime late next week before I know the official word". I was like WTH?????????So of course I asked "what is the reason for you setting up a pending date?" and she said "that is just part of our procedure, however it does not guarantee approval".....This is driving me nuts. What should I think about this? I am excited I got a pending date but from what I am told it means nothing. Sooooo of course I will be back on the phone bright and early Monday morning to see if there are any updates even though she told me to call in the later part of next week.

**** Thanks everyone for all your support and PM's it has really helped me through this scrutinizing process. arrggghhhh!!!(****.........I am calling on the LORD TO HELP me through this one!!!)      All I can say to those who is getting ready to submit be AWARE of the wait time and the run around you may get from the REPS at the insurance company. It can make you go looney. Now I am starting to wonder how prepared I really am because I never imagined I would be this nervous. I have seen other people comments about their submission to the insurance company but since I was not there yet I never really paid much attention. BIG MISTAKE on my part!!!!!!!!!!!!It is ALLso true what they have said and that is why I am passing it along to you all. PATIENT is a VIRTUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  GIVE ME STRENGTH LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
