Tdarbey 0 Posted January 6, 2015 I'm coming close to the end of my 6 months and all I have left to do is get my insurance approval so I'm just curious about how long did others take?! -feel free to include your stats too I love to hear about them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kathy078 17 Posted January 6, 2015 Mine took 4 weeks, after which they denied surgery. When I spoke to the surgeon's office they had already appealed it and it was approved the next day. I have Cigna which usually takes the longest for approvals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laurenella82 625 Posted January 7, 2015 I have Amerihealth DC. It took maybe 3 or 4 days. Not sure the exact day it went to insurance because of the holiday. I was told it could take up to 4 weeks but they average 2 weeks to respond. I was't expecting an answer until next week. I'm scheduled for 10 Feb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
