How Long Does Aetna Take To Approve?

[Jendkopp 62]

I know I'm being impatient, but my husband and I had our paperwork submitted on the same day (Nov 7) to Aetna, and he already has been approved (approved on Nov 15). I'm starting to get worried that I'm not going to be approved. Anyone have Aetna and can tell me how long it took for them to get approved? Thanks!

It took 2 weeks, 10 business days for me. Good luck.

A week to the day of sending in paperwork. Waiting to hear is the hardest part.

Best Wishes!

I'd call and ask. I called the day after the papers were submitted to make sure they got them all. You have a whole other reason to call since your hubby already has his approval. It took 3 days for me. The squeaky wheel gets the oil!

I feel all your pain. My last appointment was sep 20th. I called my office 3 weeks later, I called and they said they submitted the paperwork to my insurance. I have called my insurance 3 times and they say that they still have not received my paperwork. I had to get new fax number for my insurance to call back my Doc's office to fax the paperwork. I am so lost at this point! It's been 2 months since my last and final appointment and I feel like we are not any closer to a date This is so hard and frustrating!

It took then a month to respond. I submitted mines on 8/16 and they responded 9/24 wit approval decision
