I asked my dr's office and what they do is they have a spread sheet of all the patients. When they have proof you have done all the requirements, they submit within goal of 2-3 days. Then it is on the insurance company to approve or deny. When you finish the last requirement or even before, call them and ask. I used the reasoning, I would like to know the process so I do not call you every day wanting to know what is up. It is so hard to be patient. I finish my last requirement on the 16th of this month.

I was told before to wait at least a week after my endoscopy(which is my last test) so I'm figuring I will call my doc on the 27th of this month and see what they say then Im going to wait 3 days once the paper work is submitted to the insurance company and call them because that is the longest waiting period hoping if I show them how much I need this they will approve it quickly so I can be in surgery by September..And good luck with your journey also
