Waiting on Aetna to Approve (How long did you wait)

So I am waiting patiently for Aetna to approve me. I have called everyday since last Thursday when the request was submitted and reluctantly the auth is still pending. I work in a medical office doing authorizations so I have checked as a provider and patient and still nothing. The nurse handling my case is out of the office today I dont want to be a bug a boo but darn it I am anxious. Surgery date is Oct 22nd and a second date of Oct 27 just in case. Anyone else waiting on Aetna?? Help a sista out.... I pray that they approve me after all of this.

I just received approved today from Aetna and it took a week. Weird because I called Aetna yesterday and they told me a decision was still pending. I called them every 2-3 days.

Congrats. I'm in my preop phase currently

@@acyum2008 thanks! have you heard back from Aetna? Don't be afraid to bug them...I called them every 2-3 days and no one ever called me to tell me I was approved. I got the call from the surgeon's office who said they received the approval. Aetna was supposed to call me with an approval but they didn't. I was told they are supposed to mail it.

I received my approval a week or so ago. It took them a week to approve. Scheduled for November 5tg
