Default my chart is in dictation!!!!!

My PCP's office finally came through and faxed the last result to Dr C. I checked online and saw those words, Your chart is now in dictation. Wow does anyone know how long dictation takes? and how far out they are scheduliung now? I have health net does anyone know about how long they might take to approve or? OMG wow I can't believe it. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster.

Thumbs up Yeah!

Congratulations! You're one step closer to "Loserville"! Keep us posted on the progress. You'll see...soon you'll be posting that you are scheduled for surgery.

For me it was a week. From the time I went into dictation until surgery was one month to the day. Kind of crazy things moved really fast.

Default Dictation,

One week for dictation, one for insurance approval, two weeks later a surgery date (which I had to move out to finish up some things at work). Very fast from here on out, hold on tight!

Jenna & Cherie,
It shouldn't be long now. I know, the hardest part is the waiting. Soon you will be scheduled and you will be a loser with the rest of us. Good luck
