The surgeons office said it PH usually only takes 5 days to approve... that was about a week and a half ago, and i still havent heard anything... getting kind of anxious. Have the date set penciled in already... and requested the time off work. Praying I hear something soon.

It never hurts to call and ask for the status.

Definitely call the insurance company and ask for the status. It only takes a second, and it could help you get scheduled if they tell you you're approved. My doctor's office didn't know I was approved until I called them because the insurance company didn't call them, they MAILED (as in SNAIL MAILED) a letter. It was another week before the doctor's office received the letter, but I had the approval & the date scheduled before then just for making the call.

THANK YOU FOR SUGGESTING THAT YOU TWO!!! I called and found out it is approved... that was a huge stress relief. JUNE 24TH IS MY LIFE CHANGING DAY!!!!

Yay! Congratulations on your approval & getting your surgery date. I'll be right behind you, mine is 7/1. Best of luck to you!
