How soon should they submit to insurance?



Recommended Posts

So I've done all my pre op appts other than the egd. I am however still waiting on my obgyn appt to see if I have PCOS. I should find out if I have PCOS the day of my egd. I have the ultrasound in the morning then egd in the afternoon (13th). How long after you finished all your pre op appts did they submit to insurance? In just really anxious to get things set so I have a date. The waiting is killing me and it's only been like 12 days since my consultation with my surgeon.

It all depends on your provider and your insurance company. I started this journey at the beginning of June and just got my approval letter today!! I have BCBS and I had all of my appointments (except for meeting with my surgeon and a 4-hour nutrition class) done in early August. I was told I was penciled in for December 4 about a month ago and I was really sweating it. I had no idea it would take 6 months from start to finish, lol! I hope your process is much quicker. I know how hard the waiting is. :)

I have Aetna as well and it took two weeks to the day to get my approval. Not bad but it felt like forever!!

If your bmi is btwn 35 and 40 having PCOS will qualify you through insurance. If you are 40+ bmi it doesn't matter because you qualify anyways

I'm hopefully submitting to insurance this Friday. I have Cigna, does anyone know turnaround time for them? And also does it help to call them every couple days to see if my claim has been approved?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
