Finally Got My Date
Feb 04, 2012
So I finally got my date. My paperwork has been ready to be submitted since the end of November. At that point, the program manager said they were not submitting any more to insurance until after the first. This made little sense to me as my insurance doesn't do open enrollment until July, but whatever...I can roll with it.Then in the middle of December the nurse called to tell me they were submitting my forms. Four weeks later - after Christmas and New Year's were passed - I called to check on my status. She said the computer said that the forms had been submitted or were in the process of submission and I needed to allow the insurance company 30 days to respond. Hmmm...okay.
Three weeks later I called to check again. She started with the same explanation until I told her what has been going on. She then went to physically check for my file. It had gotten lost under the stack of other patients and had never been submitted. She put it on the top of the stack and apologized profusely. I was more than a bit frustrated though. I had planned to have my VSG by February at the latest...and now it was just being submitted on January 27th.
In less than a week, the approval was given and now I have my date of March 5th. It's later than I had wanted it to be...I have plans in March and April. But I was about to give up hope that this was ever going to happen. So I'm excited...I can't wait to be on the other side of March 5th!
