The nurse didn't think it was going to take longer than 2 weeks before all of my paperwork would be in order. I was just wondering how long it took most of you and your insurance companies to approve it?

Hi Chris!
It took me a bit longer than two weeks. When I went for my MRI pre-Ty, it wasn't good and the neuro insisted that I do a course of steroids ( stupid MRI). Then I was approved but they hadn't yet trained the infusion center at the hospital. Then they had to look into who was paying what for me, cause I didn't want to get hit with the post infusion shock of a huge bill! I HAD to know how much I would have to pay, if anything.
All in all I think it took a month before i got the first dose. I hear things are a lot quicker now.
Good Luck! Let us know when you start!!
