Waiting on Insurance



Recommended Posts

I am really beginning to worry that my insurance will not approve me. The coordinator submitted everything on last week and I have not gotten a response from her. I've done everything on the checklist that was required. How long does it take to get to get a response. My coordinator had prescheduled me for May 13.

Hi yellowbox :)

It can actually take up to 15 business days for insurance to make a determination. Have you tried calling insurance directly? My paperwork was submitted on March 29th. I called on April 4th to check on the status of my paperwork and found out that I was approved the same day my paperwork was submitted. Hopefully you get an answer soon; I know it's frustrating having to wait!

I know with kaiser insurance, the "approval committee" meets like twice a week so your insurance company may be like that where you may have just missed one of their approval processes and have to wait for the next one. good luck! I hope you get approved soon!

Thanks, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I walked from the parking gararge to our office building this morning and my knees were killing me by the time I made it by desk. It should only take 2-3 minutes, it took me 5-7 minutes. I had a meeting outside the building two hours later so I had to make the same trip back to the gararge. Don't even think about how warm and humid the weather is here.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
