Ugh, I feel your pain! I've been dealing with the same issue for weeks now. It's like everything just disappears into a black hole once you submit it online. Have you tried calling them? That's usually the only way to get any real answers.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. 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 checked your online account for any messages or requests for additional information? Sometimes they need more docs but don't make it obvious.

This happened to me last year. Turns out there was a glitch in their system and my doctor's recertification wasn't properly linked to my claim. I had to have my doctor resubmit everything. It's worth asking them to double-check all the paperwork on their end.

Here's what you need to do to get this resolved: 1. Document everything. Keep a log of all your submissions, calls, and interactions. 2. Double-check your online account for any pending tasks or messages. 3. Contact your doctor's office to ensure they properly submitted the recertification. Get a copy for your records. 4. If calling isn't working, try reaching out via social media. Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive. 5. Consider contacting your local state representative. They often have liaisons who can escalate cases. 6. As a last resort, you might want to file a formal complaint with the state oversight board. Remember, persistence is key. Don't give up, and don't be afraid to escalate if you're not getting anywhere. Good luck!

have u tried faxing ur docs? i kno it sounds old school but sometimes it works better than online submission lol

I'm in the same boat, OP. Been waiting for 2 months now. This whole system is a joke. We need to organize and demand better service!
