Waiting for Aetna PPO approval in NY.....how long will this be.....lol

I had Aetna EPO in Illinois and think it only took a couple weeks after we had to submit another document. Hang in there! Your Dr's office should have an idea of exact timeframe for your insurance if they have been dealing with them for a while.

It's been a year for me and I'm still not approved.. in Cali. We appealed several times too.

Took about 3 weeks for me to hear back. They contacted the bariatric coordinator, not me directly.

I am waiting as well. Finished all my prereqs last week. BCBS in NC shouldn't be too bad. Originally they said it would be a 3 month process, right at the end of March. Hope so, that's my spring break

I got approved within 3 weeks. They gave me a verbal over the phone.
