Impatiently waiting for Aetna

[bosoxgirl1966 20]

Congrats.. I am hoping they approve it. I have sleep apnea and high blood pressure. I keep changing my vacation from work so I can use the time. My Dr. put a tentative date of Oct 15 or 16th. I am hoping to have it the last week in Oct.

That is so me I need to know because I'm trying to set up my vacation for it I had vacation set up for august thinking that it would have gone through but gave that up now I'm on pins and needles waiting and hoping this appeal goes through!

You should have your sleep study results the very next day... They emailed my results the very next day.. I submitted my appeal on the 7th

If I dont het approved I am going to be devastated..trying to get all this completed before deductible kicks in again

I called Aetna the day before I found out I was approved. The rep advised that I ask my Dr's nurse representative to call and speak with the nurse reviewing my pre-cert. Within 3 hrs I received the call back from her that I was approved! You may want to do the same. I had been waiting 28 days.

I did that and nurse told me that was still pending. They hve until the 17th to decide and then I will take it further if they deny it

I'm still waiting. It's been almost a month now. I'm also still on the waiting list for my sleep test they denied. Waiting for an at home machine. Sure hope this ends positively soon, so I can move forward with my life

Jessica108 I know this waiting game has to suck really bad. My Dr. submitted my request on Friday Oct 11th. I am BMI 41ish now after losing 24 on the required 90 day diet by Aetna. My paperwork was submitted with a surgery date of 10/29. I do not have any comorbidities and that is what worries me. I hope that they get you the in home machine ASAP so you can get to moving on with the process. Praying and fingers crossed for you.

Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm anxiously waiting to hear from Aetna. My nutritionist said she received my last exercise report from the Personal Trainer on 09/30. She said it may take up to 3 weeks for an approval/denial. I want to call Aetna and check on the status, but I'm trying to wait out the 3weeks. I guess this is just the nerve racking part....trying hard not pull my hair out!! LOL!!!MMmmmm mnmmmj M

Hi everyone

i'm also waiting for the approval . paperwork was submitted Oct 2.

i called Aetna yesterday they said they haven't received anything.

i immediately called the surgeon's office and the nurse told everything is alright, they received my paperwork and it's PENDING.

BMI : 40

age : 25

suffered from asthma many times and knees pain

My 2 yr history is the only concern because they're from my country.

i'm extremely anxious and can't focus on my studies

i hope i don't have to go through the appealing thing because my English is bad and i give up so easily

[nh20013 15]

I call Aetna so much one of the reps gave me the nick name " paper stalker" ....smh that's horrible lol... So when I call I and get him I just say this is the paper stalker

[nh20013 15]
