Scheduling Question

I interviewed several doctors and felt comfortable with the doctor I have seen for years.I had an appointment on May 23th and told him I wanted to do this. He call 3 days late and told me to stop by and he gave me the 2 implants (Coloplast and AMS) for me to look at. It has been 2 weeks and I have not heard a word from his office. No surgery date has been set, nothing. It is a very big practice and only urology office in Savannah, believe it or not, so i have been giving them the benefit of the doubt. How long should it take to schedule this procedure. I understand that it has to be scheduled before submitted to insurance. I called the scheduler last Thursday afternoon and asked where we stand and they said they were working on it. Is this a RED FLAG or just the way it works.

At the end of my consultation appointment I was scheduled for a later date on the spot.

It can take up to 21 days for insurance coverage verification.

It has to be scheduled before the insurance process is started

That was my experience too. The hospital had to be scheduled. I had to set up a pr-esurgery appt. with my primary care Dr. Etc. it has been a few years so I don't remember just how long it took. It seemed like an eternity but after all of the hoops had been jumped through it wasn't long.
Never regretted it for a moment. Best present I ever gave my wife.
