When your request for surgery was made how long did it take for word yea or nay from your insurance co ? I just submitted a request to my PCP for referral for a DS. I figure I'll get denied but wonder how long it usually takes. Thanks all ! Precious

I knew about two weeks after it was submitted. The approval came Thursday and I had my surgery on Monday of the following week. Chip

My dr's office submitted on Tuesday, I called on Thursday to verify that they received the request, and found out that I had been approved on Wednesday. So it took one day to be approved from when the surgeon sent in the request.
