Hi My Sherry I just have one question I have went through everything that I had to do blood test GI sleep Study ect now I'm just waiting for the approval I talk to Dr Awad office and they said they were going to submit everything for the approval this was on June 8th the girl told me it takes 5 days what is the max days does it take to get an approval?? I still haven't heard anything I have tricare and I been looking on the website everyday waiting so frusterating could someone please tell me out I'm so inpatient should I go ahead and call Dr Awad office again or should I give it more time? ok so I lied that is more than one question :-)

Honestly that is a loaded question. I am still going through it, we have yet to submit everything to insurance, lacking some records and I've been going through this for a month. Some people it takes 1 month for the whole process, some say it takes 2-3 days once they have submitted and others it takes months. The ones that take months are usually the ones who get denied and appeal. Sorry I can't give you anything specific. I have UHC not Tricare.

each state has laws I think orig request is 30 days, but make sure nothing was lost bla bla talk to your coordinator at the surgeons after 10 days

thank you so much for your replies
