1 Wk Past And Still No Answer From Aetna



Recommended Posts

Hi Jocy! :D I've been checking this post everyday because we're pretty much in the same boat so to speak. My information was also submitted to my insurance, (Anthem), last Monday and I've yet to hear anything. :unsure: Unlike you though, I've been calling since day one just trying to confirm receipt. Didn't help matters that they didn't even show anything being received until late Friday. And now of course, it's been in the PENDING status. So I just wanted to let you know that I definitely SHARE your anxiety. :blink: So please keep us posted once you hear something.

I have Anthem. They have one of the quicker turnaround times out there. My approval through them took about 2 days. With Cigna my denial, and then subsequent approval took 30 days each.

The lady at Aetna just said she's gonna call them to see if they need any additional papers on that department to approve it or not. I'm so nervous. She put me on hold

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
