I just finally got everything sent to insurance today! How long was your wait for approval? How long after that was your surgery date scheduled?? I have Medicaid and I'm trying to find out a rough estimate of my timeline

I just submitted to insurance as well. Mine said 2-4 weeks for approval. I'm hoping for sooner. I called today (my doctor office says that helps) and she said they did get everything but wouldn't know anything more for 5-7 days. This has been a long journey and I am so ready to get this done! I have Cigna insurance. Good luck to you!

Good luck to you too!!! I'll give them a call in a couple days

That's awesome! Mine was submitted last week. I have Medicaid as well (Georgia). I called today and they confirmed that they received it and it's currently pending. They also told me that my surgeon indicated on my paperwork that they'd like to do my surgery on 3/23. I think calling them would be a good idea. Best of luck to you!

I called the insurance today and they said they can't give me information and that they send everything to the surgeon and that I have to go through the surgeon's office. So annoyed

I just found out that my insurance company doesn't cover. What do i do now?

Did you go through a program yet? This is normally somethingbyour surgeon would find out right away before wasting time. There are a few options, wait until open enrollment and switch insurance companies. Self pay may be an option. Id also look up your insurance compamy online and check to male sure they truly dont cover it
Some will say they dont unless its medically necessary, which a doctor could work with them depending on your medical issues. Good Luck!

I submitted to insurance on 2/27 and I got approved today 3/10. My surgery is scheduled for 3/22. & I also went through Medicaid in the state of Florida and I am so excited to start this journey! My doctor told me it could be as late as June before I had my surgery so I am very thankful the process took less than a month!
