I would like to know how long did it take for Aetna to approve skin removal surgery? Dr submitted all requirements but i have no estimated time frame? Anyone?

You can call them and see if all the documents were submitted. This is the most common delay. Id say it usually takes a couple of weeks to get approval.

AETNA requires the skin hangs below the pubic area and you have 3 months of documented skin rashes that don't respond to treatment for surgery approval.
