AVERAGE WAIT TIME

[LUCYCAT 6]

I realize each surgeon is different. I am just looking for an average here. How long after your insurance company approved your surgery were you scheduled for your surgery?

I had a 6 month required wait time before my insurance would approve my surgery. That being said, once it was approved I had surgery about 10 days later. :star:

But I had done each and every single requirement from my insurance AND from my surgeon. So there was nothing left on the list to cross off AND he happened to have time. He did my surg. on a Fri which he normally doesn't like to do because you are in the hospital for a weekend and he typically takes the weekends off. But I only had to stay overnight and my nurse kept him updated. I was discharged by 11am on the Sat. after my Fri. am surgery.

I am currently awaiting approval, but my suregon told me to expect it to take about ten days. He said from consultation to surgery it could be as fast as a month for me since all I needed was a psych eval for approval!
