What is the right amount of time to wait before calling your insurance company to see if you were approved or not?

I just am soo excited I can't wait!

The insurance coordinator at my surgeon's office handled this for me. I don't know what experience others may have had.

Call today, then tomorrow, then the next day and repeat ad infinitum until they give you an answer. You are paying a buttload of cash for them to answer the phone, so put them to work.

That's what I like to hear!! Lol! my insurance guru said she won't call until its been 3 wks since they submitted it!

There's No way in @&$@ I can wait that long!

I just replies to you on another post, but I called everyday. I didn't care who I annoyed, I just needed to know.

Well surgeons office submitted papers this morning and please believe I will be calling everyday:) our taxes are their paychecks so y not??? Yea buddy!! Sharing your excitement as well and good luck to us!!!!

Well got the call today that I was approved for surgery! Yay

But also that the hospital THEY told me was blue distinction is not;( so if I get the surgery there they will not cover all of it!

The other 2 hospitals around me says I have to start at the beginning.

I've never been so happy and sad!

OMG awwwww wow!!! Congratulations "! I know you feel a little let down but at least you have your approval that is insane that they are really making you start all over????? Don't feel bad tho it all plays out this way for a reason. It's God's plan for us!!! So another 6mo???

Thanks for the support! I had myself almost talked out of doing it this weakend because I was so disappointed! I said I'm not going through all that again, then I thought I'm NOT gonna be fat my whole life! So here we are again ...lol....I have 1 more hospital to call! Hopefully my angel will be hovering over them and they will pick up where I've left off! Have you heard from your ins yet?

Glad you got approved and hope the new hospital will take you on! Don't give up you know the end result will be worth it!

Thank you guys for all the support! I called Toledo today and she is gonna try her hardest to get me in by the end of the year!

So the hope is still alive! Lol it may be almost 2 hrs away but soooo worth it!

Did you guys hear back yet?

heyyy i heard back from the nurses office. for some reason my file said lap band and i told them to please look at the notes from my last 3 appointments where i made up my mind. my surgeon is in surgery today and she said she promises she will call me back tomorrow as soon as she gets verbal confirmation. im going into their office on monday and im not leaving without a surgery date lol. damn i thought i was gonna have a nice smooth case but of course with all the other madness going on in my life . this should be expected. its ok. im staying patient. and it will make it that much more rewarding when its all over.

i really hope and pray you DONT have to go through the 6month program again. THEY NEED to give you credit for everything you have gone through!! i will continue 2 pray for you!!!
