Shrinkinqtpi 202 Posted July 8, 2016 Hello all! Still no news. Reassessment was on June 23rd. The insurance coordinator did not submit paperwork until the 29th after hours so AETNA does not count it as day 1. I know it is only the 7th but the wait is painstakingly drawn-out. It is time to take care of business!!! 9 business days since surgeon approval and potentially 5 business days from the last day AETNA said they would take. I went ahead and made another dietitian appointment for the 19th in case... You know. I'm ready to jump up from the losers bench and become a starter. Let's get started!!!!! AETNA! AETNA! AETNA!

living.loving.life 17 Posted July 8, 2016 Crazy how everyone's wait time and program is different... I have Aetna and the time from my initial appointment with the surgeon to the surgery was only 45 days. The only thing I had to do was see the recommended specialists and get cleared.

Shrinkinqtpi 202 Posted July 8, 2016 @@living.loving.life I called again today and the insurance rep suggested I call my doctor's office since a nurse hadn't even been assigned to my case yet. So... I did. They are going to call on Monday and try to get it expedited. Hopefully, Monday will bring an answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
