Friday I finished my requirements and was submitted for insurance... now I wait. I am hoping for an answer sometime this week. How long has everyone waited for their insurance answer??

I wish I a time period for you, but I'm in the same position. I have my last appt. on Tuesday and I will get my surgery date and all the paperwork will be submitted to the insurance co. I will be interesting to see the what everyone has to say.

It all depends on who you are insured through

I'm going on around 18 days...not like I'm counting or anything. hahaha!

Congrats to everyone for being on the bench waiting for the big show!!!

I had my last appointment Sept. 18th and was approved by insurance and got my surgery date (Dec. 5th) on Oct. 5th. I think it took longer than 2 weeks because the lady at the hospital who handles submitting claims forgot to send mine. Otherwise I think I would’ve heard back within a week.

I broke down and called the insurance today and they said it was still pending and they have a turn around of up to 14 days...
