I have still not heard anything from my Dr office or insurance. I am getting very annoyed but don't want to bother them as I know how backed up they are. Sorry just had to vent. UGH!!!!
It has been 3.5 weeks. I still don't even know if insurance approved it. I haven't even gotten a date yet or started any pre-op. I just did all my 6 month requirements. I just want the Yes answer and ill feel better LOL.That is really disappointing! I’m sorry you have to deal with this. How many weeks has it been now? I’m frustrated just having to deal with the insurance changes, but if I were done with pre op stuff and just waiting on approval, I’d would be just like you-super annoyed.
I don't think my office has even sent the information cause my insurance is saying they have yet to receive anything. I just called and left a message so hopefully they will get back to me with good newsMy drs office told me it takes the insurance company 6 weeks to hear if it’s been approved or denied. Now that’s my insurance and drs office, and I’m not sure if they’re all the same. Keep your head up, it’ll happen
You might think that you are bugging the people in the office by calling. But they might think you don't care because you haven't bothered to call. More times than not, I have been given to understand that follow-up is your responsibility and if you do not show them that you care and that you are committed, they will just put you on a dark shelf somewhere. It's much better to make those phone calls, and keep making them until you get your answer. You have done everything you were supposed to do. You deserve to know what your status is. You don't have to be mean about it and you won't be. You're just being responsible, to them and to yourself.I don't think my office has even sent the information cause my insurance is saying they have yet to receive anything.

OH no!!! Why did your insurance deny you?? I am sooooooooo nervous I will get denied! I pass all the requirements. Did you and still get denied?My surgeon advised me to give them 2 weeks, and then start calling the insurance company for updates. He stated you have to stay in their face a little to keep things moving along (kind of a "squeaky wheel gets the grease" type of thing). My insurance denied me within 3 weeks and denied the appeal within a week, but at least I had my answer and had to decide if forking out the cash was worth it. In the end, I decided to invest in my health, but hopefully, your insurance company will be better humanitarians than mine.
Don't take my experience and worry that the same thing will happen to you. If they deny you, get your surgeon involved.
