File Submitted....

FINALLY my file has been submitted to my insurance company. I am so happy right now I could cry. I know I have yet to be approved but it's one step closer to my dream coming true. In 5-10 business days I will finally have an answer!

I want to call daily, lol. I did reach out to them the other day to get clarification on a letter that was sent. They told me that they provide a decision within 15 days and that I should hear something by August 12. I'm a little less anxious now that I have a deadline.

I also have Aetna and waiting on approval. I finished my 3 mt program on July 24th, my doctor office told me they have up to 30 days to give a response. I have called Aetna 2 times and they don't see anything in their system.

I called them just for the heck of it and the insurance got the claim but the pre cert,have not recieved it yet so the insurance was gonna call doc office so they can send it to pre cert team, So that's a start I know it was to soon to call but I figured what r they gonna do yell at me , lol . So now maybe things will be on the roll now. Don't fell bad I think there's a bunch of us waitng. My friend got approved and we both got Aetna . So fingers crossed !!

I called yesterday and it's still processing. Tomorrow will be 7 business days.

I finished my 3 month program on July 2nd but still needed a few things before it could be submitted to my insurance company. My doctors office told me 15 days so I'm hoping by then end of next week at the latest I will have an answer. I called Aetna yesterday and they told me that it was processing.

Ok, I called this evening....couldn't contain myself. I was told that they are "working on August 29th but it is not yet approved". That made me a little happy :)

As of today I am APPROVED for surgery! I am so happy when she told me I yelled in excitement. I was discouraged for a moment but it happened! I have an appointment with my surgeon on August 21st so hopefully sometime next month I will be saying hello to a new me!

Congrats! I still don't have a surgery date I won't get it until I see my surgeon on 8/21 so I am hoping soon after that I will know.

Good luck! It only took BCBSNJ 4 business days to approve mine. I hope you beat me and make it in 3!
