Waiting for Insurance Approval

[LeesMimi 0]

Well, I sent the rest of my Medical Records to the surgeon's office last Friday and everything was submitted to my insurance company.

Now, I have to wait. AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!

I am NOT good in the waiting department. The insurance specialist at the office said it could take a week to 14 days...WHAT?!

I guess I better start learning about patience, especially since I'll need it once I start losing weight!!!!!:thumbup::tt2::thumbup::thumbup:

My request for insurance approval was just submitted today and I was also told a week or two for a response. I am hoping for a December 2nd surgery date so fingers crossed!

How long did it take you guys to get through you pre surgery appt's like psych eval ect:

It took me about a month to get all the pre-op testing worked into my schedule - but I work full time. There was one person who posted she had all her pre-op testing scheduled over 2 days - so I guess it just depends.

Oh my goodness - I got a phone call from the insurance company (Humana) about 2 hours ago telling me that I had been approved and that my surgeons office should be contacting me shortly to schedule my last few test and to schedule surgery....I am so excited!!!! I have been waiting on this day for what seems to be forever and it has finally arrived....from what I understand I have chest xray, barium swallow, ekg and lab work left to do.....I am so excited......

It has only taken Humana 3 business days to approve my surgery....wow!!!

Hope that all goes as fast for you all......you all are in my prayers!!!

My paper work was faxed over yesterday! So now im playing the waiting game too ughh i hate waiting! Dec is a very busy month for me and since my doc only does surgery on Mondays there are only 4 in DEC :crying: ughhhh I have BCBS IL PPO and was told it could take up to 2-4 weeks. They have 30 business days to respond and hopefully they respond soon and don't deny :w00t:
