Ugh, I feel your pain! I went through something similar last month. It's like they're living in the stone age or something. Have you tried calling them directly? Sometimes a little pressure can get things moving.

I found a way to get someone on the phone without waiting forever. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Have you tried faxing the request yourself? Sometimes taking initiative can speed things up. Just make sure to follow up and confirm they received it.

This is why I always keep copies of everything. You never know when you'll need to resend something yourself. Hope you get it sorted out soon, OP!

Dealing with bureaucracy is THE WORST. Hang in there, OP! Maybe try reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help cut through red tape.

Here's what I would do: 1. Call first thing in the morning when they open 2. Ask to speak with a supervisor if the first person can't help 3. Request that they fax or email the letter immediately 4. Get the name and direct number of whoever you speak with 5. Follow up daily until it's resolved 6. If all else fails, contact your local representative Don't give up! The squeaky wheel gets the grease in these situations.

lol welcome to the wonderful world of healthcare bureaucracy 🤡 where nothing makes sense and everything takes 10x longer than it should

Have you checked your spam folder? Sometimes important emails end up there. Just a thought!
