Seminar - Paperwork...How Long

[bambam 0]

Hi everyone -

I went to the seminar last Saturday (the first step!) and had my paperwork with my history, diets, etc., all done and submitted by Monday. They said to be patient as it would go through a preapproval process with our insurance company and a nurse would call to go over the form with us, but it may take some time for the nurse to go through it all. I know I'm going to have to get a lot of patience through this process (something my husband says I don't have a lot of!). Can anyone give me an idea of how long it may be before I hear from the nurse about receiving the form and the next steps?

Thanks!

I am cash pay, and had a surgery date within the month. It seems insurance people have a lot longer wait, averaging 3 months to 18 months depending on insurance requirements.

Gentyl thanks for your response. The center just called and I have a nurse phone appointment next week to go over all my information. They said if everything went smoothly it would be about 4 months as I am going through my insurance. At least I know a time frame for the next thing on the docket!

Your surgery isn't far off... you must be excited!
