Timeline for Neurology in Rochester?
Visiting Mayo Clinic | Last Active: Jan 1 2:56pm | Replies (9)Comment receiving replies
Thank you! My current neurologists are referring me there for diagnosis and a treatment plan because diagnosis has been elusive and I’ve seen everyone good here (Duke.)
I called in Friday to check in, and they said they sent me and email on 11/12 with some follow up questions, but I combed through all of my email folders and there was no email from them. Fortunately I called, and was able to answer the questions they had. Now I guess I wait some more; not sure how long because they didn’t give me a timeframe this time.
It concerns me that I was unable to locate the email they said they sent. I logged into my patient portal to verify my email address on file, and it was correct. There was nothing in Spam, Trash, or my Inbox, so I don’t know that they actually sent it, or that it went to the wrong address somehow.
I think I’ll just check in again at the end of each week if I don’t hear from them, and pray not to get the denial letter in the meantime.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I really appreciate it!

@tsinnc I was recently accepted. I tried self referral, and evidently, it is much harder to self refer, because I was denied. After a few months, I saw my Rheumatologist, and she and my primary both referred me. This time, I was accepted. The following is the flow as best as I remember it;
1. Submit a referral.
2. You are sent an email that contains a link for a questionnaire.
3. Complete the questionnaire.
4. They respond with an approval or denial. On my self referral, they responded with the denial in less than a week.. On my doctor's referral, it was two to three weeks.
5. Upon acceptance, they send you an email and txt that you have been accepted and a link to schedule your appointment s with Neurology.

@tsinnc That’s good news. Glad you made contact and hopefully won’t have to wait much longer for the appointment.
