how long after insurance approval did you get surgery date?

It seems like this is taking forever.. I have been approved for several weeks now and still haven't heard back yet.

Have you made any phone calls? Do you have someone that helps you manage all the appointments? I'd be bugging the heck out of them!! lol

BTW I think your icon pic is gorgeous :]

It took just shy of a week for me to hear from my surgical practice's scheduler. After my surgeon's nurse called to tell me I was approved I called the office twice trying to just jump right on it and got a call back saying I had to wait for this one particular staff member to call me.

My surgeons office called to tell me I was approved and I got my surgery date right then. I'd call your Dr and spasm them.

Call them until somebody gives you your date or you threaten to find another surgeon. It shouldn't take any facility more than a week to schedule surgery once the insurance has been approved.

Yeah you should definitely bug them. I'm going through True Results and they put me in touch with the surgeon's office the day after they called me to say I got approved. I had my surgery date the next day! They were totally booked so I book mine at the beginning of may and it had to be the end of June, but at least I got a date!

So I called and called again til i finally got a hold of someone and im hoping Monday morning they will call with a date. I had to email them proof of insurance approval since they haven't receive it yet.. fingers crossed ready for this journey..

Glad you got ahold of someone!
