medicare question.
I have medicare and medicaid and i was told medicare automatically approves which i was but i have been waiting since march 2006 for a surgery date. the hospital i'm suppose to have the surgery at was not a c.o.e but they inspected the place and got approved, but they got the ok over the phone since feb. thats 3 months ago. they are still waiting for the legal documents to come in the mail. they inspected the hospital in nov. 2006. and they got the ok. in feb. so my question is does anyone know how long it takes for the legal docs. to come in the mail? i'm getting so frustrated Idid all my blood work, ekg, sleepstudy and all since march of 2006 ive waited awhole year already. how much longer?
