Submitted to Aetna

Hello everyone,

Today was my last nutrition appt and this week, probably tomorrow, my information will be submitted to Aetna. I did all that I was supposed to do. Now I'm simply praying that all goes as planned.

My only jitters are about the surgery itself Advice? Input? Thoughts? Lol

I think I'm driving the people crazy I have called them every day since the paperwork was submitted it's been pending everyday yesterday I finally got a tracking number so I'm guessing they're actually looking at it now. When did you find out about your approval?

I found out about it today. I have to go through another hospital and another surgeon. They already submitted my chart to the new surgeon. My appt is on May 20 th. Hopefully there's no more testing because it's all done. If so they will have to approve things all over again!

Omg I think since you're approved and they sent your chart over you'll be good to go the only thing is I'm sure you have gotten used to the idea of one person performing the surgery and now you have to change gears

I say call your doctor and check on the status. Better yet, call Aetna directly.

Well if you got your paperwork submitted on the 3rd they should have some type of answer for you I'm really not sure if the wait time is 7 to 10 or 7 to 14 I was submitted on May 2nd and finally got an answer yesterday but not cuz they call me because I called them everyday
