Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 , Patience is part of the process here so you are getting the chance to use yours up. Do you have a case manager with your insurance? If so, you might be able to speed up the process a little yourself and get that approval in shorter time. The sooner the insurance is approved, the sooner the surgery date is set. Good Luck! It won't be long before you are looking back at all this and realizing that the waiting wasn't as bad as you thought it would be and I am sure you will be all smiles then.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 --- the reason why you aren't happy is because it is getting closer to school if you get a surgery in August. It should be done now. Maybe you could explain to them that it is better to have surgery sooner and get ready for school. When is it going to be in the fall semester? You will have to wait to hookup in 3 to 4 weeks.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Alice, Can you explain to me more about the case mananger? I don't know if I have one. How can I find more about it and how can I find out if I have one too? di (; > , > > Patience is part of the process here so you are getting the chance to use yours up.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Oh boy!! Yeah you're right! Im very disappointed. I really want to go to school and I want a degree on my hand already! If I missed this semester, I'm not going to be happy. I don't like staying home doing nothing. Doing Yoga, running, and blah.. is good but it's just too quiet for me.. kind of like isolated. They're so slow! Sigh... > > ...they're waiting for insurance approval right now and it > will > > takes 4 to 8 weeks. Turn out that I don't need balance test.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Alice & the Gang. I'm a little upset now. The office manager told me and my brother different story. (a little different) She told my brother that they haven't contact my insurance yet cuz the surgeon and the CI team need a meeting first then they will contact my insurance for approval. The surgeon is on vacation right now and he'll be back on the 12th of July. I have this feeling that it won't be done before my school starts. *Sniff Sniff* <--- Really sniffing! Even though they haven't contact my insurance yet, can I still call my insurance and request a case manager? di ); > , > > You have a special need with deafness, thus you qualify for a case manager. You call the insurance company and request that one is assigned to you. They assign you one and this person goes to bat for you with everything you need as far as your insurance is concerned. Mine can be like my best friend sometimes and we are on an e-mail basis. All I have to do is e-mail her and I usually get a response within an hour. Getting things approved happens much quicker than you can imagine. > > It's well worth the time you spend getting one. If you had one, you'd know it because it's something you have to request. > > Alice > > Can you explain to me more about the case mananger? I don't know if > I have one.
