CALLING ALL DR.DUNCAN'S PATIENTS

Someone please tell me how long did it take for the office to submit your clearance at about how long.

Did you take your packet in person or mail it? I mailed mine, gave them a week, and then called to check up on it. During the call I said I wanted to check on my paperwork and see if it had been submitted. She pulled my paperwork right then and made sure it was in order and submitted that day. I was cleared quickly by my insurance but the insurance company dropped the ball on faxing the approval. I had to keep after  them to make sure they got the letter to the Duncan's office.

Good luck. Keep us posted!

Yes the I took it in my self and I called today to make sure everything was there she says evertyhing is there and it has to go through the person that set it up for t he insurance comapnay then it will be submitted then she says that will take between  three to six weeks is that true 

It took about 3 weeks. I called once a week or so just to check on it. Tried not to be annoying but let them know I was on top of things. All of my approval and stuff fell in the middle of Thanksgiving and then Christmas so it was a pain to get a hold of people on all ends. Once the holidays were over everything went quickly & smoothly.

Thanks I called them today to find out what was the status and I got some much better info. I was told that all is there and before the end of today I will hear something after they havee reach
the right handd in their office they will be sending off for my appoval

my process did'nt take but 3 weeks that's including wls. Back then a lot of people wasn't having surgery. I went for one of my post-op visits last week and one of the people that help get approvals said there are a lot of patients wanting to have wls so there is a waiting list and your position is dependent on when you complete and submit all paper work including clearences. We have to keep on mind that there a lot of people applying for wls and only 2 people in the dr.s office doing the paper work. What I did was found out who was the coordinator for my last name and I was in constant contact with her. The front desk give you limited info.

Good luck. 

Thank you so much I will find out who's working on my case.
