Plz tell me 6 to 8 weeks is worst case scenario
It doesn't help to call because the person you talk to is only going by what the auth department has loaded in the system. These approvals have to go thru medical review with a staff doctor or nurse and they base it on the medical policy guidelines. The dr or nurse reviewing it never even know you have called to check on it.
Mine told me 3-6 weeks. I knew in 3 days. Since I had comorbities it was approved with no issues and no pre diet requirements. So hang in there it can happen faster!!
For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Phillipians 4:13

I really hope mine is quick. I also have comorbidities and know that I have met all their requirements so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

It took two months from the time your doctor submitted until you got a response back?
