Anyone with Aetna that recently got Approved? can you tell me how long did you wait for your approval. Thank you.

Hello I am a newbie, just joined scheduled for gastric sleeve sept 8 17. I have Aetna, it took a month and half for me however, I was already approved with my previous insurance but we lost that insurance in April. We got insurance in June and I resubmitted the information for Aetna.

ok, that's Great Congrats!

My info just got submitted yesterday so I want it to know how long do they usually take to approve the surgery, I am really hoping they dont take long because ,the wait is going to kill me lol , Thank you so much.

Thank you and good luck, hopefully they approve you much quicker. And I know what you mean about the weight. Been trying to get sleeved for a year now. But getting pregnant 2 weeks before last surgery, losing insurance early this year...Was approved by blue cross then lost insurance and got Aetna. The wait has been maddening. Hope it's must shorter for you. Good luck.

I have AETNA info submitted August 8th and by August 11th I was denied. My surgeons office did not submit my august visits so they said I didn't meet the requirements. Talked to Drs office today and they are resubmitting the correct info. Waiting is killing me. What happened with yours?
