How long was it for insurance approval??

I just finished up my 6 months doctor supervised weight loss. I am nervous that I will not be approved because
A-My start BMI was a 39.7
B-I gained a little when I was supposed to be losing (but I am now a 40 BMI)

I have Geha, and I was just wondering how long it took you to get approved for surgery..and if anyone had Geha, how hard is it to GET approved.

Thanks =)

Submitted 5/3 Approved 5/25. BMI over 40 with Asthma.

Once I met all the insurance criteria- including the 6 month NUT appointments - it happened so fast I wasn't ready. I don't remember exactly but it was a matter of days. I finished my last appointment the end of January and had surgery March 4. 

I think most insurance providers typically get back within a week to 10 days or so after the initial submit.  If you have to appeal, hearing back on that can vary.  Good luck!

3days for me with aetna...goodluk!

Does anyone have Cigna? I finish my 6 month supervised beginning of July. I am getting all the necesary tests done before then so I will be ready and everything can be submitted at once to the insurance company. Did anyone do that and does it help?

I was told that you could submit the doctors supervised first and then worry about the psych eval, bloodwork and in my case a gallbladder ultrasound (something not all doctors require) later...
