Renewing claim with new doctor - What docs do I need?
Hey everyone, I'm trying to renew my claim with a new doctor. Has anyone gone through this process recently? I'm not sure if I have all the necessary medical documents. Any advice on what I need to prepare or what to expect?

I just went through this last month. Make sure you have: - A detailed medical report from your new doctor - Any test results or scans - A letter explaining why you're changing doctors - Your old claim number It's a bit of a hassle, but not too bad if you're prepared. Good luck!

For me, it took about 3 weeks from submitting everything to getting approval. But I've heard it can vary.

Has anyone found a way to actually get someone on the phone? I've been trying for days and keep getting disconnected or put on hold forever.

I actually found a solution! There's this site called claimyr.com that has a calling tool. It dials the phone menu, stays on hold, and then forwards the call to you when a live agent picks up. It costs $20, but it worked for me. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/1X-mEsLtbmQ

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

Trust me, after spending days trying to get through, $20 felt like a bargain. Time is money, ya know? 💯

Pro tip: If you're changing doctors, make sure your new doc is in-network with your insurance. Learned that one the hard way 🤦♂️

Anyone else feel like they need a law degree to understand all these forms? 🤣

Hey OP, don't forget to keep copies of EVERYTHING you submit. These people love to 'lose' paperwork.

Yeah, send everything certified mail if you can. It's a pain, but it gives you proof they received it.

I'm in the same boat, trying to renew with a new doc. This whole process is giving me more stress than my actual health issues 😫
