How long did it take for them to approve you once they had all your stuff? I have my last nutrition appt on Monday next week and then they are sending in my "packet"... Curious to know the wait time! Obviously super anxious!!!

I was submitted 19-December. Still waiting. I was told by the insurance coordinator 10-15 business days.

I had my paperwork submitted on a Tuesday (faxed), and by Saturday, I received a denial letter. A week later, I appealed it. Within 3 days of faxing that paperwork, I received my approval (I called them every day) over the phone.

It all depends who you speak to. I was told by some of the CIGNA Reps. that it would take 7 to 10 days, and others told me that they respond in 3-5 days! So I just kept calling until I had an answer. I would ask for the department that actually reviews the paperwork, as the Reps. that answer the phone, don't have the most updated information. Good luck to you!
