Question for any SHBP UHCs out there

I just talked to Dr. Macik's office today and they are ready to submit to insurance.  How long did it take to get an approval? 

Also, how long does it take to actually submit from the surgeon's office?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about Dr. Macik's office, but the day after I had my last appointment with the psychologists I was approved.  My nurse called my surgeons office and verbally gave them the approval and she set my surgery date.  It was very quick after I finished everything required.
Good luck.  Keep us posted when you get a date.

It was only about a week. I was amazed at how quickly the process went. However, the surgeons office would not schedule the surgery until I got the letter approval. The letter took about another week and half after they called to tell me I was approved.
