Surgery

After the insurance has approved your surgery. How long does it take to have surgery?

It depends on your doctor's office.  I just got the approval on my insurance last friday in the mail, and today 2/23 i called the dr's office - they were going to put me in as soon as march 13th but i opted for march 31st because of other obligations - so for me it could have been as soon as just a few weeks -- just keep contacting your dr's office and asking them - the squeeky wheel gets the oil - be proactive - i think that helped me get a surgery date sooner.  Good luck!

My Insurance was approved on December 22nd, and I was given PAT and surgery dates from the Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti on  January 9th. It took them a while to get back to me after the Christmas Vacation. My PATs were March 16th and my surgery is this coming Monday, March 30th!

A lot of variables depend...like how busy your surgeon is and how far out he schedules.
