Donna:

What was their reasoning for your patient letter " not passing the test? "

Just curious as I am sending in my packet on Monday and want to make sure I

have everything in order.

Hey Donna, I am a self-pay too, insurance just wouldn't move fast enough, and I

feel like you, once I've decided I am so impatient!!

I am working on my packet now, and won't finish up until I have my physical

(scheduled for the 13th of this month). I hope I can also have surgery on the

2nd of nov. but I have no idea if that is possible right now. Keep in touch,

maybe we will be littermates... Trudy Strong (not alan)

Am I in the Twilight Zone or what?

Earlier this month, Barb emailed me that my packet was great except

for my patient letter, which I redid and sent priority mail about 3

weeks ago.

Since then, I've called, emailed, faxed and generally made a pest of

myself (I want this so bad, I've no shame now!). But I cannot get a

response from anyone. I'm beginning to think I'm in the twilight zone

of cyberspace and that no one is getting my messages!

I plan to self-pay so insurance is not an issue. Their voice-mail box

is full. I finally got through on the phone (its been busy) yesterday

and left a message for Barb to call, but alas - no word.

I want to schedule my surgery for Thursday, November 2nd at and

go to clinic on Tuesday, October 31st.

Anyone else experiencing the above? Any secret phone number to call?

Let me know this message is reaching the outside world!

Thanks!

I was told that I needed to redo my patient letter because I didn't have

those headings in it. I had covered every point that correlated to those

headings but since I didn't have the actual headings I had to redo it. Also

I put my list of contacts right in the letter and that had to be separate.

The question isn't what's wrong with the patient letter.

The question is why hasn't there been a response in 3 weeks??

Thanx so much , I would have never thought to put headings in my letter

either..

Did you copy most of the letter word for word or did you change a lot of it? I

know I had to change some personal stuff, but mostly I wrote it word for word,

just no headings hahaha

I've got time to retype it though, thanx to you maybe it won't get sent back.

Do you have a surgery date yet? Maybe we'll be going together...

Good luck, Trudy Strong
