Waiting..Aetna Approval

Well my docs office told me all my documents look good and ready to submit to Aetna. They gave me January 30th as my surgery date. I will have to sign all consents forms on January 15th. They will be submitting all paperwork on Jan9th because is my last req. visit. I am so excited everything ran smoothly. My office nurse said it won't take more than 8days to get confirmation. Do now I am ready. Ready to start a new life!!! ;)

Perez' date=' From my dealing with Aetna, they are pretty quick. I honestly dont think my approval took a whole day. My file was given to the nurse on 12/6 and by 12/10 I called in and they had approved the surgery.. I just wonder if I had called on Friday like my O.C.D. self wanted to, would it have been done? lol.. I hope for a speedy decision for you. Did you do the three month or the six month program for Aetna?[/quote']

I'm so glad I've been reading all these positive post for Aetna. My dr needs to refer me out to a surgeon who works at a Coe and is an Aetna provider. So far it's been a pain in the behind! First my surgeon is a provider however he doesn't work out of a Coe. Then he refers me out to another practice well they work out of a Coe however they are not Aetna providers. I finally looked online and found a practice that is both a provider and works out of the Coe. Lets hope the dr hurrys up with the referral so we can do this. I'm so nervous that Aetna will deny it. Anyway I just totally rambled on lol just feel better seeing all these posts!!
