Frustrated and tired of waiting (long) venting...**UPDATE**
Hi All, <br />
<br />
Well, I posted a couple of weeks ago stating that I had finally finished everything needed for insurance submission. However, I am getting really ticked off and frustrated because I finished my supervised thing and was told that it would be submitted then. Well, on the 9th I finished it and then called the office to make sure that they had the report from the gym. The girl who does the insurance submissions was on vacation. okay, that's fine I can deal with that, and I have called Aetna to see if anything has been submitted. Big fat NO last week and this week. <br />
<br />
I am wondering if they are purposely waiting until I finish my 2nd sleep study and EGD before submitting even though they don't need that for an approval on the surgery. I received a call a bit ago stating they needed a copy of my insurance card, but 2 visits ago, they made a copy of it. When I called them back a few minutes ago and told them that so and so got my card 2 visits ago and made a copy, then they put me on hold, came back and said. Ok, nevermind. So, I assume they found it. I am just frustrated because I was told in April that as soon as I finish my supervised thing they would submit and haven't yet. If it weren't so late in the game I would switch doctors, but I'm already out over 2000.00 out of pocket for this and that and don't want to start over again. <br />
<br />
Do you think they could be purposely waiting so I can fork out more money on Wedneday for the EGD in case the insurance didn't approve me? I'm sorry for such a down and depressed post, but I have been doing this for almost a year now. I just want to know if my insurance is going to approve me or not. :*( <br />
<br />
Thanks for listening. I hope everyone is doing well. Hugs, <br />
Just found out that it will be submitted before Wednesday. There was a lost dictation that they found. Good deal
Now I am happy.

I remember how frustrating it is to want this so bad and have to wait for the red tape to be taken care of!
It will happen and then 6 months will go by so quickly you won't even have time to think about it! I'm almost 6 months out already and I can't believe it!
Just breath and call the Dr. office and your insurance co every day if you have too! I DID! LOL!
Hugs
