Waiting on approval from Aetna

[Joymarie333 41]

It's been 2 days and I'm so stress waiting on approval my BmI is 45.6 and has been over 40 that last 4 years. I gave all my previous weight history to Aetna.. Do you think I will get approved? I complete the 3 month deal. Does anyone have Aetna and know how long they take to approve VSG?

Aetna took about a week to approve my revision. First they requested more of my history. Then they followed up with the surgeon about my hospital stay. I was stressing but it worked out ok. Good luck.

If you haven't net gained in the three month deal, they will approve you.

I got approved in one day, but usually it takes from two weeks to one month.

[Joymarie333 41]

Net gain? I didn't have any final weigh in

[khaled 23]

At your last dietitian visit, they must have weighed you before they sent your paper to the insurance .

If you didn't gain weight from you first visit weigh in, then you will be fine.

My last dietitian apt was over the phone, I never received a final weigh in. ???? I hope this doesn't cause denial.. I'm worried now

Don't worry. I was approved in 10 days.

[khaled 23]

Trust me, the office staff will do their best to get you approved.

let's be honest, they get paid by insurance money

Thanks for the support!

I have Aetna too. I am just starting the process. But I was told not to gain any weight from start to finish. And I was told it takes 2-4 weeks for approval. Good luck. I am rooting for you. And so is the doctors office.

[Joymarie333 41]

Thank you so much! That makes me feel better. I called the insurance today just to check the status but I'm trying not to bug them! I don't want them to get annoyed with me. ????

Mine took 2 days with Aetna. It was crazy fast.

[Joymarie333 41]

It's been 3 business days, I'm still waiting feel stressed

[muzical1 85]

I felt the same way. It feels like your life is in the balance. Sometimes they respond quickly, sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks. Try to relax and trust it's going to be fine.
