How Long Does Insurance Approval Take?!

I had a full physical and blood work done. I have a BMI of 40 and high cholesterol. My doctor submitted paperwork to Cigna but how long does it take to hear back!?

My insurance is Horizon and it took just a few days. I would think everyone is different though.

Good luck!

Every insurance provider is a bit different...so it is difficult to say.

Once I had jumped through all of the "hoops" my insurance company required, it was about a week after my surgeon's office submitted all of my documentation until I received my approval notice from the surgeon's insurance coordinator.

I had my PCP and my surgerons office calling almost daily think it took 1 wks and I had medicare. Good luck with everything.
