Do any one know how long it takes for your insurance to approve your surgery?

Do any one know how long it takes for your insurance to approve your surgery?

Mines went in Thursday got my approval today. So 1 day for me

Call your insurance and check. You may find out before your Dr.

Does anyone have Cigna Open Access ? Wondering the same thing

Mine was submitted last week on Tuesday and I still so not have an answer. I have checked everyday! Finally one of the reps took my phone number and said she would keep an eye out and let me know when the status changed. She told me to expect it around the 19th. Too long! I have BC Anthem (out of California). I wish I had these quick ones like other folks!!

My insurance approved it 5 days before my surgery was scheduled! I started the process at the end of July and I just had surgery this past Tuesday so it took a little over a month for them to approve it.

I'm with The NSW Teachers Union Health Fund.

I have "top" hospital cover and "top" extras cover.

It took them under three minutes to answer my call, verify who I was, process the surgeon's procedure code number and say it was "all" covered.
