Behaviors
Transcript
Thank you for calling Green Valley Health member services. This is Mina speaking on a recorded line. Can I confirm I'm speaking with Daniel Mercer, born July 18, 1982, and living at 4827 Willow Creek Drive, Apt 5B, Columbus, Ohio 43215?
Yes, this is Daniel Andrew Mercer. The last four of my Social Security number are 4421, and my member ID is GVH-88394127.
Thank you, Mr. Mercer. For verification, can you confirm the phone number and email we have on file: 614-555-0198, and daniel.mercer82@protonmail.com?
Yes, that's right, although my new callback number is 380-555-4412, and my employer is Harrison Industrial Company at 2150 Fisher Road, Columbus, Ohio.
I see your plan is under policy number PPO-77-194402, and the primary care physician listed is Dr. Elena Ruiz at Buckeye Family Clinic, 903 East Main Street, Columbus, Ohio 43205.
I was told the MRI appeal would be reviewed within two business days, but it has now been over a week and I still have no decision.
The appeal is still pending in our system. I cannot confirm a review date or connect you directly with the clinical review team.
This is the third time I have called. My physician marked the referral as urgent, and nobody has explained what is still missing.
I can add another note to the case, but I do not have a confirmation number or a specific follow-up time to give you today.
