Paperwork was submitted on Sept 30th

My surgery is October 12th. I haven't received my approval yet. I'm on pins and needles waiting. The waiting is driving me NUT!!!! I emailed my doctor's office today. They contacted my insurance (Aetna) is still pending. The patient coordinator said if they haven't heard back from them today, they'll give them a call tomorrow morning. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone else have Aetna? If so, where do you check on your member website if you've been approved? Would it say so in the tab for Communications under letters or messages?

I'm driving myself crazy. ????

I didn't get my surgery date until after I was approved. I didn't even get to see a surgeon until I had that approval in hand. hope you get your answer soon! Good luck!

It'll work out :) Think positive!

I have Aetna too so I'll have to play ball with them a bit as well. Could you tell me your process if possible what you did and when? Just want to compare. You can PM if you don't wanna post it under this topic.
