Anxious over approval ????

Hi All,

How long after being informed that your packet was submitted to your Insurance company did you start calling and following up? Also has anyone had success getting their Dr's office to call and expedite things? I was submitted on Monday and have called about 4 times already in 3 days.

Thanks in advance everyone!

    I was told a pre-cert can take up to 30 days. I think that's just standard and what they are trained to say if they do get behind. Same as Shipping 7-10 business days but you get it in 3 days????

Sorry guys, long time no post????. Well, I'm going in for surgery tomorrow morning at 5:30AM with surgery scheduled for 7:30AM (5 hours away!!!). I'm actually going to have the SIPS procedure done which is like a bypass below a sleeve. I'm excited and not nervous at all but I'm expecting it to hit me when I get there. Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks to everyone for the awesome support!!

Good luck!! Hope it all went well!!
