Question for all my fellow sleevers, is it too much to be calling the insurance company twice a day once in the morning and once in the late afternoon?

I called the number on the back of my card then they gave me this number, 800-558-3644. I called them this morning and they told me that they were waiting on clinical notes from my doctor and then it would take 3-5 business days for a decision so I am going to call everyday.

Well depending you your insurance requirements. When I first started my journey CIGNA they required a 6 month medically supervised diet and at month 5 1/2 they changed their policy and only required 3 months and my 6 month visit would have been on June 1st and that is when they filed with the insurance. So from start to filing exactly 6 months. -

Welcome!! I have also just finished all requirements for my insurance as well and the doctor has submitted to my insurance company for approval on friday. What insurance do you have? I have CIGNA. -
No surgery yet just required diet by the insurance company
-
Congrats and good luck to you also. Keep me posted. I am 25 pounds down since January
-
No problem I was at five and a half months when the changed it. My last NUT appointment was scheduled for June 1st
-
Yes it was Open Access Plus. That is who I have as well
-
I called my Doctor's office this morning to check the status of my insurance claim only to find out that they had not submitted to the insurance yet after 1.5 weeks of being cleared from the NUT. They did say that they were waiting for the doctor to sign off on all of my notes and that they would give everything to the insurance coordinator after lunch to be submitted to the insurance company. I just feel like it is taking so long. I know it is just pure anxiety and excitement all balled into one but I am ready and have been for a long time now. Praying for a quick response from the insurance company for a June date!!!
