Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 I was just wondering. I completed my packet some time ago, then Dr. Rutledge changed the way he wanted things done so I had to rewrite my letter. This was done a few weeks ago. I am now waiting to hear from him. The problem is that my insurance company gave me the OK a month ago. Is there a limit to the time I can stall them off or is that something that changes between ins. companies? thanks to all --- Gerald Conrad --- micaiah@... --- EarthLink: It's your Internet.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 Gerald: Why don't you give Barbara or a call at Dr. R's office and see what the status is on your packet. Best of luck to you. Christy / CA MGB 11-8-00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 My insurance letter stated that I had to have the surgery within 90 days or recertify for surgery. I got a response from Dr.R within 5 days, but I failed to check my e-mail for two extra days.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 What changed isn't important, that I can live with. As far as the status of my packet, well, I called (and silly me, I didn't get the name of the woman I talked to,(I was dog tired at the time)) Dr. R's office and was told that she " thought " she heard my name mentioned a couple days ago and that I had to redo my letter. When I asked her if she knew what was lacking with the one I'd sent in she told me to refaxw it to her because maybe some of it didn't get thru. When I told her that it had been delivered by FED EX on the 30th she became completely lost. I hate to keep calling the office. I don't want to become a pain but if I don't know what's wrong how can I fix it? does anyone know > >Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 8:13:23 -0600 > > > > > >I was just wondering.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2000 Report Share Posted December 14, 2000 Gerald, I started on the MgB in October. I was addmitted into the hospital(for another condition) in NOvember. So that has put me behind schedule. My insurance was approved till january 1st but all Dr R office has to do is request an extension but I was told they can't do that till i have a definite date. My clinic is on jan 4th in which i will turn my packet in then and talk to Dr R Hope this helps, Kathy-nc At 08:13 AM 12/13/00 -0600, you wrote: > >I was just wondering.
