Waiting on Insurance

I am really beginning to worry that my insurance will not approve me. The coordinator submitted everything on last week and I have not gotten a response from her. I've done everything on the checklist that was required. How long does it take to get to get a response. My coordinator had prescheduled me for May 13.

Hi yellowbox :)

It can actually take up to 15 business days for insurance to make a determination. Have you tried calling insurance directly? My paperwork was submitted on March 29th. I called on April 4th to check on the status of my paperwork and found out that I was approved the same day my paperwork was submitted. Hopefully you get an answer soon; I know it's frustrating having to wait!

I know with kaiser insurance, the "approval committee" meets like twice a week so your insurance company may be like that where you may have just missed one of their approval processes and have to wait for the next one. good luck! I hope you get approved soon!

Thanks, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I walked from the parking gararge to our office building this morning and my knees were killing me by the time I made it by desk. It should only take 2-3 minutes, it took me 5-7 minutes. I had a meeting outside the building two hours later so I had to make the same trip back to the gararge. Don't even think about how warm and humid the weather is here.
