ladee2279 29 Posted November 23, 2015 Hi Everyone, My Dr. Submitted everything to Aetna on Thursday. I spoke with Aetna on Friday and they confirmed they received everything. Per Aetna they have a two week turn around time. Has anyone with Aetna had them take that long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sajijoma 1,324 Posted November 23, 2015 Mine was submitted on a Monday and I called Tues and wed for updates and both times they said "still pending" and later that same Wed afternoon, my surgeon sent me a message saying I had been approved. I was just that fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Terra B 53 Posted November 23, 2015 I was told 5-7 business days, they approved it on the 7th day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lexigurl82 160 Posted November 23, 2015 First Aetna told me they have up to 15 days for a decision. Then they told me 30 days when I called them again. I was approved after a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdelrosso 124 Posted November 24, 2015 I work for an insurance company .. It's not Aetna but that turn around time is pretty standard for pre auths. Especially gastric surgeries for whatever reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rking 484 Posted November 25, 2015 Mine was turned in on a friday. I called next Thursday and had been approved, although they did say up to 30 days. I did not get a letter for two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
