If you think your surgeon is the one partially at fault, I would change surgeons. I realize that location is a big part of it, but I don't think my doctor would ever lead me through the blazing hoops. You may want to seek out another doctor.  Mine was the most fabulous (Dr. Chua in Milwaukee), but if that's too far away, make some phone calls. It can't hurt. You might also want to keep calling your doctor's office and pester them as well! The squeeky wheel gets the grease!  Good Luck!

JWJ, if you are still frequenting this board, will you please contact me? It seems as if we have had parallel experiences. I would like to discuss a few things with you, if you wouldn't mind. I also have vagus nerve damage from a screwed up lapband surgery. Thank you, Nicci

My problem is not with the insurance company it's with the surgeons office they just seem to be dragging thier feet constantly.  When I spoke to the surgeon he was all upbeat and said he knew it had been a long time but he thought I would have the surgery by the latest end of June. 

But it is the office, I was told that because I had medicare and medicaid and they have to settle for a certain amount that they would drag it out and hope I would go away.  I said surely not ~~ but it is begining to look that way.

What!? Give up!  Don't you dare! Aren't you worth fighting for? Insurance companies certainly aren't going to fight for you, so you have to! So, pull yourself up, dust yourself off, put on your gloves, and let the games begin!!!!  They haven't seen NOTHING yet!!!!

Topic: Insurance update!!

Called both insurance companies today Medicare said they got the info from the Dr. Office and are reviewing it now ~~ that is my secondary insurance.

My primary insurance says they have not recieved info from the doctors office.  And to have them call or refax info.  Asked them to do that a week ago and recieved no response to the email.  Called their office today and got voicemail so I emailed them again.   GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! I am about to give up!!
