Aetna Questions

I have a few questions for anyone who has already had surgery and has Arena insurance ... how long was the approval process after your last nutrition class? How long did it take to get a surgery date? Thanks

    Hi! After all the papers were in to Aetna, it took 1 day for approval for me. And my surgery is September 23. Good luck! I hope you hear back soon!

    once received by aetna, it took them about a week, but that's because they were missing some information and had to request it.1 week from approval to get surgery date. My date is Sept 3rd.

I have Aetna and it took a week for them to approve me. My surgeon has a wide open schedule and could do the surgery as soon as next month, however I have a lot to do as far as preparing for the surgery financially, therefore I scheduled my surgery for the 1st week of December. Good luck!
