Karen,

First of all let me send you my sincere empathy. You have come to the right place to get your questions answered.

I started my appeal process in January and am now starting my 4th and last level appeal. The entire process will be complete by the end of April. I had to start with a pre-auth (denied), then 1st level (denied), then 2nd level (denied) then 3rd(just denied), now 4th.

Hope that helps. You are also welcome to private message me with any other quesitons.

Best of luck to you.
