Switching surgeons

Sorry for the loooong time between updates. I’ve basically just been waiting and waiting….. NewStart is a very slow process, made even slower by Dr. Beretves having my files for nearly 4 weeks, and still hasn’t reviewed them. Without his reviewing them and the letter being signed, nothing gets sent to my insurance. Soooo, today I decided to switch surgeons, I’m going with Dr. Richardson! I’ve heard wonderful things about him. His office is in Union, which is very close to me. I spoke with Patty at Dr. R.’s office, and she said Dr. R reviews and signs off on all files each week on Tuesday. So I called Chris at NewStart to see if she could get my info together for Dr. R. to sign them today! I won’t know if that happened until probably tomorrow, but at the very least, it will be done next week!!! Next step is to have everything faxed to the benefit rep. for my hubby’s work, who can push this through for an approval in about 2 days!! Finally, some progress! I had hoped to have surgery next week while Mark is off work; very unlikely that will happen. But, it may be within a couple weeks, which is okay. Mark has some personal days available, and daycare is lined up for the kiddos, so it will work out. I’ll st again, once I have more news.
