So my last appointment for my supervised 6 month visit with my PCP (and this also my final requirement to fulfill) is the very beginning of November. My question to the people who are either going thru the process and are ahead of me or people who have already been thru this process: do you think it would be at all possible to have the surgery done before January? Assuming that Aetna gives an approval the first time around of course . Im asking because my rates are going up for surgery starting next year so Im hoping to get as much of a break as possible!

Just let me know! thanks for all of your insight in advance!!

I would think so!!! I got my surgery date apt for just 4 wks after my approval , but that's only cuz my surgeon is out , otherwise it would've been done in just two weeks from approval. My final apt was given to me two days after I got approved btw. If u let them know your situation they will accommodate most likely. Plus, cancellations do happen. ;0) good luck!!!

Oh btw call your insurance daily n b on top of the submission process!!!

Thanks so much!! That's a mini relief to hear even with extenuating circumstances a surgery can still be within reach for the date needed!! [: hope your thursday is going fantastic! and thanks for the tip!!
