How long for insurance approval?
I just met all my goals for the dietician today. :clap2: She will be sending in all my papers to the insurance company. I have anthem and was just wondering how long it has taken other people to get the approval from the insurance co.

I was told the insurance company MUST respond within 30. I am hoping that is true because I hope to have all my paper work submitted soon and get and answer quickly
