Aetna Insurance

Hi everyone! So last week we submitted it to Aetna insurance for final approval before I get my surgery date. How long does it usually take for approval? And I'm so nervous they won't approve me! Help!

I also submitted last week on Monday August 17th. No word for me yet either, From what I have heard the processing times are different for everyone. I will say that I did call twice last week and will be calling tomorrow if I don't hear anything today. Each time I have spoken with someone they say it is still in process. Maybe it has something to do with being closer to the end of the year! Who knows! Good luck to you, hopefully we both hear soon :)

i definitely will please do the same. I am pretty nervous too. I honestly was not expecting to have to wait so long. Most people say they only waited a couple days at the most. It is ok. Good vibes for both of us.

@chasingchloees That's awesome!!! I got approved as well. October 20th is my surgery date. YAY for us :) It really is the best feel isn't is?

Congrats to both of you! My surgery date is Oct 7th.
