Just hang on Brenda... sounds like your B.C. is a great advocate and advisor... I won't hurt to scout out some other PCP's who are more supportive and savvy about bypass patients...
My paperwork was submitted Nov. 3... got verbal approval on Dec. 10, paperwork on the 14th. They had to "fix" that paperwork and the correct stuff arrived today --- I'm set up for surgery on February 5, 2008... YAY!!!
I started with the group in July... so from start to surgery --- 6 months! I think that's pretty typical...
