If you get approved, all you need to do is have the procedure prior to 12/31. No word yet huh?

I am in the same boat. Had my preop appt with my pcp today. Surgery schedule for 10/21 and I'm still waiting for Aetna to approve. Got one more week and I'm freaking out.

OMG I am approved.. it seems so surreal. It seems as if I have been waiting for this day forever. Spoke with Aetna and they said they called the surgeons office yesterday (sunday) why would they even attempt to call on a Sunday. I sent my drs office an email advising them.. Now I just need a date

Hi everyone

i'm also waiting for the approval . paperwork was submitted Oct 2.

i called Aetna yesterday they said they haven't received anything.

i immediately called the surgeon's office and the nurse told everything is alright, they received my paperwork and it's PENDING.

BMI : 40

age : 25

suffered from asthma many times and knees pain

My 2 yr history is the only concern because it's from my country.

i'm extremely anxious and can't focus on my studies

i hope i don't have to go through the appealing thing because my English is bad and i give up so easily

So, when people talk about calling aetna to check the status of their approval, who are thet talking to? Just the 800 number on the card and who ever answers the phone. I call that number today and they said they received everything and it's pending the medical review. It's all just so confusing. Is it ok to call them everyday? I WANT ANSWERS! Lol
