the-Russ 91 Posted October 1, 2013 My Paperwork was submitted to Aetna today. Did anyone do anything special to get the approval so fast? I mean come on, they have had it for 2 hours. 1 FitnFabfor2014 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peggy D 124 Posted October 1, 2013 My Paperwork was submitted to Aetna today. Did anyone do anything special to get the approval so fast? I mean come on, they have had it for 2 hours. The reviewers have 2 weeks to complete the process. Depending on the work load, it could take that long although most are done much quicker. There are a lot of services other than bariatric surgery that require review & anything life-threatening or urgently needed will take precedence over elective procedures. I know, I worked as a nurse reviewer for over 7 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigbeauty78 27 Posted October 1, 2013 My coordinator was on the phone for over an hour with the insurance company getting approval. I have a Cadillac policy being I am a state employee. No special privileges here just had the BMI requirement and the co morbidities that went along with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
