Patient representative

October 28th, 2002 @ 5:37 PM in Medical Reports

I have forwarded the letter from Medicaid along with the approval request forms to the patient representative of UWMC Neurology Department about 2 weeks ago, and I also had my social worker contact the patient representative. Last Monday, she contacted and let me know that she will have the doctor submit the request. However, he was going to return this pass Wednesday from his leave. And just this morning, I had my social worker call her and leave a message about it.

Even if the request was submitted on this pass Wednesday or Thursday, I don’t think I will find out the result until next month or so. This doctor should have taken care of all this once I asked him to refer to the doctor in California. I just hope the doctor in California is willing to postpone the payment until Medicaid approves it.
