Exclamation Im In Dictation!

I have probably checked the patientents.thinnertimes web site 7 million times this week and it always said the same thing... waiting on 2 more test results. Well it was hard, but I waited tell Wednesday to call, and what do you know? She found my file waiting on Dr. Potts' desk for dictation!!! I guess they just never updated the web site.

It's getting close! Anybody out there have any idea how much longer I might have to wait?

Default web site

Dr. Potts' office manager, Leslie, told me about it when I went in for my first office visit. It's http://patients.thinnertimes.com You have to get your file number from the office and then your user name is your last name. I guess it's to keep you from bugging them at the office all the time. I don't think they do a very good job of keeping it updated though.

IM IN DICTATION!!

Congrats...that's so exciting!!! When I had my consultation with Dr. Potts he said it would take him 1 day to dicate my chart. You'll probably be sent off to insurance by next week. Good Luck

Vangie,

It won't be long at all! Dr. Potts dictates very fast and then, you just hope your insurance doesn't lag!! It took less than 1 week for my insurance to say yes!

Good luck! I am excited for you!

Smile one week?

Karen, you don't happen to have Pacific Care do you? They came back pretty quickly with the aproval for the consultation, so I hope they do the same now. Maybe by this time next week I'll have a date!!
