how long did your insurance approval take?



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

I have UHC and it took them less that 36 hours to approve me from the time my surgeon submitted the paperwork.

I have Horizon BCBS (NJ). Submitted on a Tues approval received on a Friday right before Christmas. Just waiting for the surgeon to review all my tests for final medical clearance. I hope to get that and a date tomorrow.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
