Does anyone know or can tell me when will i be given a date of surgery?

I got the date the same day I seen my surgeon for the consult. After seeing him I had to see the scheduler and she gave me the date. Might be different for others though. Mine was a couple weeks after seeing the surgeon.

@ - when the guy asks...opps, never mind...wrong topic

Depends on your requirements, surgeon, etc. I would call your surgeons office and ask.

I don't get the date until I meet my 6 month "wait" required by my insurance. I then go back to my surgeon and depending on the scheduling, I get a date but it may be a month or two out.

So sorry i forgot to mention i am self pay

So sorry i forgot to mention i am self pay

it will probably be a lot faster for you then since you are self pay. Did they explain the process at the seminar you went to?

They did talk about it but also said that the surgeon is always so busy

I'm having the same issue. I had my final visit on 10/8 and the surgeon's insurance coordinator said she was going to submit my paperwork to Aetna. When I called Aetna on Tuesday for status, they told me they haven't received anything from my surgeon. I am trying to be patient as I know they are busy. I'm going to give my surgeon's office one more week and if Aetna hasn't received anything by next Thursday, I will call the surgeon's office then.

@@Lexigurl82 i feel your frustration i hope you get answers soon ????

If you have completed all your pre-op, then call the scheduler. If you are aggressive you can make them fit you in when you want. I had a friend flying in from out of state and I needed my surgery to happen within a certain small window and I pushed the scheduler and got the date I wanted. I have read other people doing the same thing.

Awesome thanks for that info ????

@@Lexigurl82 OMG Girl Aetna is giving me the blues. My surgeons office submitted my request on 10-7 and I have bugged Aetna every day since. At first they kept saying they hadn't received clinicals and then they finally said its still pending the nurse is reviewing the case. Maybe I am just anxious because I am supposedly having surgery a week from today. But girl just stay strong. I am praying for you

wow I didn't know Aetna was like that. I called them today and a rep said they finally received the request from the surgeon and that it is pending review. I asked the rep when did they receive the request and he couldn't tell me because their system was acting up smh. I hope we both get an approval soon. Thanks so much for the well wishes and I pray it works out for you also @@acyum2008
