How long did it take your insurance company to approve you for a surgery date? I have completed all the necessary steps and it has all been submitted. Just haven’t heard anything yet on a surgery date and I am impatient!!

It took my surgeon’s office nearly a month to submit to insurance smh. About a week after they submitted my file I received a call to pay my copay for the surgeon’s fee to proceed with scheduling my surgery.

Once they received it, it took about 2 business days

I was told it would take around two weeks. It took exactly two weeks to the day to hear.

Mine was next day.

Submitted on a Friday. Was told 2 weeks. Monday was approved

Mines took 1 day, I went online and checked my Insurance ID account and saw the approval letter the next day, before they mailed it.

Mine was submitted to my insurance on 8/1 and I recieved approval on 8/9

8 day insurance approval, I would say you got a pretty good insurance there.

I was happy and surprised it was that quick.. although I was approved on the 9th, it is now the 29th and I have not recieved a surgery date from my Dr. office.... I have paid the Dr. Pre-pays, have spoken to the hospital regarding their pre-pays, but still no date. I was told to wait until the nurse calls me.... I'm trying to remain in good spirits knowing I did get approval from my insurance, but the wait is killing me. [emoji58]
