[1excited 15]

I'm going thru st vincent. And I'm still waiting for approval. Have u submitted?

$)@@ychani I have aetna as well (I am waiting to hear back). Did you hear back yet, how long did it finally take?

Yep I did hear from them (on Feb 9th), on the 13 out of 14 they were to respond back. And I was schedule for the 18th of feb for surg.

I was hoping it would be sooner. Tuesday would be day 7. I am going to call on Tuesday with my fingers and toes crossed

I keep them cross for ya. I was hoping too. After reading peeps comments about 3/5days approval. But I calm dwn focus on shopping for things I need and went work. Then I got edge again on the 13th day. Now things r going really fast. I wish I had couple more days to prepare. Lol I five days to go and gave to clean, wash clothes, get daughter hair cut...etc

found out the insurance coordinator in the office did not send in the clinic notes and when the insurance company reached out she STILL did not send it. So my paperwork just sat there for a week!!! I possibly could have had an answer by now.

My surgeons office will not allow the 3 month process with Aetna because they said it was considered the fast track. Per the clinical bulletin it was not called that. Very dissapointed but what can I do about it.

@@tbella67 can you find another surgeon?

[tbella67 19]

Yes I can. Just didn't know how to go abut it since I have already started with this one. I even called Aetna and they never told me the stuff that the office said had to be done.

I considered changing 2 months in. I called the new surgeon's office and they told me all they would need is all the notes from the current doctor I am seeing. It would have been fairly easy. I think the only thing Aetna looks for is 3 consecutive months.
