Topic: Anyone go through Antares insurance? Cleveland Clinic Health Plan?

Just wondering if anyone went through Antares insurance as part of the Cleveland CLinic Health Plan.  Just wondering how long they usually take to get back to us regarding insurance approval.

Topic: RE: Still haven't heard nothing from Dr. lalor office
I know this is old but they drag their feet, I swear they do it so they can fraud the insurance companies. If they wait too long you have to re test certain things over and over. I did everything 2x , and finally I was so mad about how slow and uncaring that office was I found a new dr. And got my surgery. I was so annoyed with dr. Lalor I couldn't stand to look at him and I knew I had to change offices. When I got my records they only gave me half of them and I had to call over and over. Id already been approved from a previous dr. Who stopped practicing, and my insurance approved it but Lalor kept lying saying I had to do this eval and this test because "insurance" needed it. MEDICAID FRAUD! I call him. I paid to use His psychologist for my psych eval, and his other physician for my physicial. It was all $$$ to him. I'm glad I never trusted him to touch me, he couldn't even cut my toenails. He is worthless and I say STAY aWAY FROM his cookey self.
