Got approved today, 3 days after it was submitted!! Super excited and a little nervous.

Congratulations! I hope mine will be just as fast when the time comes.

Congratulations, I just got approved too, I'm nervous exited and scared.

I have United Healthcare. All the plans are so different so its hard to say how quick it will take. Doctor's office told me 15 business days, but I called insurance company and asked them directly how long the pre approval process takes. Rep. told me 2-15 days but it ended up being only 3 days. Good luck!!

Aggravated today, insurance has already approved but doctor hasn't received anything. Upon receipt of APPROVAL, doctor has to reverify insurance. I don't understand why they have to reverify when they just got approval, makes no sense to me. Why would insurance send approval if I'm not covered? I am trying to be calm and not frustrated but its not easy!

Did they give you any more info on this? Who's your doctor? I'm going through Louisiana Surgical Specialists and using Dr. Moore.

No they didn't. I magically received an email about 20 minutes after calling that they received the approval. It's not the doctor, its his office staff. I love the doctor but his office staff is terrible! My doctor is in Houston.

How long after your final nutrition visit did you dr submit to insurance or did they submit prior to your last nutritional visit?
