Cool How long should I wait?

I have gone thru all my tests and my file was sent to dictation on 11-07-06 and nothing has been posted since. How long should I wait ? Should I call and see if there is a problem or just wait? Thanks for your input.

Oh heck ya! I would have been calling long ago! You are patient! Geez! I was all approved in 2 days, and had a surgery date just a few days after that. Time to light a little fire under someone!

It took a month for Aetna to respond. I called my Dr. and they said they were waiting also. It really depends on who your insurance carrier is.

My Dr. is Dr. Potts in Poway. I'm going to call them when they get back from lunch today. I guess I was afraid to hear if there was a problem. Like no news is good news??? I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know what happens.

I got a response from Aetna in 2 days. It doesn't just depend on your insurance type, it also depends on your Medical Group.
