ladycook9713 442 Posted February 19, 2015 Paperwork was submitted to insurance on the 13th. They are saying it takes 15 days to get an answer. Just hoping they get it soon because I got an email yesterday that said my company is making changes to our medical plan that affect bariatric surgery and the changes take place on April 1. It's not an exclusion. But the change could make the surgery more expensive. So hoping to get the surgery done before April 1. Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*mariposa43 85 Posted February 19, 2015 My insurance also said 14 business days for a reply, but I got a reply in 24 hours. My Nut said its a really slow time of year, so responses are typically faster right now. Fingers crossed that it will be fast for you as well!!!???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
