Aetna and Plastic Surgery

I am 2 years post DS, with my weight stablized for the past year.

Before my DS, I had considered and was approved for a Panniculectomy (msp) paid for by Humana.  This past year, insurance coverage was switched to Aetna and I have no idea what their procedure is for plastic surgery approval. 

Humana approved my procedure the same afternoon they received the request.  However, Aetna says it will take seven to ten days, and of course, requires medical necessity.

Just wondering if anyone else here had to jump through hoops to get approved and how smoothly the approval process worked.

You might want to post this on the plastics forum.  Good luck I hope you et your approval quickly.
