laceco 1 Posted August 27, 2018 How long did it take your insurance company to approve you for a surgery date? I have completed all the necessary steps and it has all been submitted. Just haven’t heard anything yet on a surgery date and I am impatient!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RnYBeyhive 67 Posted August 27, 2018 It took my surgeon’s office nearly a month to submit to insurance smh. About a week after they submitted my file I received a call to pay my copay for the surgeon’s fee to proceed with scheduling my surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allyb15 8 Posted August 29, 2018 8 day insurance approval, I would say you got a pretty good insurance there. I was happy and surprised it was that quick.. although I was approved on the 9th, it is now the 29th and I have not recieved a surgery date from my Dr. office.... I have paid the Dr. Pre-pays, have spoken to the hospital regarding their pre-pays, but still no date. I was told to wait until the nurse calls me.... I'm trying to remain in good spirits knowing I did get approval from my insurance, but the wait is killing me.
