How long will it take to get a surgery date after being approved by your insurance ???

Im 17 years old just got approved by my insurance last week cant wait to have surgery. Just wanting to know if anyone can tell me how long it will take to you a suregry date if anyone can answer my question plzz email me a [email protected] thanks

hey chris! i wasn't approved for my surgery at first because i wasn't 18. soon after my 18th birthday we re-submitted my info to insurance and shortly after i was approved and scheduled for my surgery for may 20, 2003. my birthday was on march 27th, so for me it didn't take too long (after the second try). but, i think it really depends on your surgeon and how long of a waiting list they have. you should probably call and see when the next available date is. good luck!

Chris- Hey. Congrats on the approval. When I had surgery they scheduled me for 3 months later. But I have some advice. Call and check weekly at your surgeons office for cancellations. If there are cancellations Im sure your doctor could bump you up. Goodluck. Erica 18 years old. -170 Pounds! =)
