I have been concerning surgery for 18 months now and finally made that call and will be seeing the doc. on April 5, 2001. I am very excited about this and hope all works well with the insurance co.

5-25-2001 I got my approval from insurance today, now just waiting on a surgery date from the doctors office.

Aetna, MC
I really had no problems with Aetna. My problem was with the doctors office getting all the information to them. As soon as I got all the information to them, (i done all the gathering and faxing)i was approved in 2 days. So do all the gathering of information and faxing on your own. Remember you are the important one to you and the doctors office has 100's to deal with. I called them about every other day just to make sure they got the fax and if they needed more information or not. Be persistend with them.
