doxaholic 252 Posted November 30, 2016 After i did all the required appointments it took about two months but that includes waiting on other docs to turn in their paper work to surgeons office and a broken fax machine at insuarance office . Once i figured what was going on and made phone calls it took less than a week for approval and three days for a date.
