For those of you who used insurance for your procedure, how long did it take for you to get prior authorization? Once you got the authorization, how long did you have to wait before you actually had the procedure? Thanks in advance everybody!

My initial consult was Sep 22 of last year and the surgery date was Nov 1. I think I received notification of preauthorization a couple weeks before the scheduled surgery date. Anthem Blue Cross. I didn't have any doubt they'd cover it. Hope that helps.

Ins. pre-auth in about 2 weeks. Surgury within 60 days based on surgeon's availability
