How long did it take for your insurance provider to say yes or no for Remicade? My BioAdvance coordinator is giving me the impression that I am waiting longer than most people. I'm not completely confident that it's even going to be approved; they are going back to my doc for more info, it's not giving me a warm and fuzzy.

it took me about 10 days to get my 2 letters from my two insurance company. I've done the process twice up to now and both times it took about the same time.
If you feel it's taking to much time call your insurance company directly and ask for an update. you are paying them so it's all good to call them and put pressure on them.

I know for mine it took a few weeks. Apparently this was due to a delay on their part... whoever reviewed the paperwork sent by my coordinator the first time handled it wrong, and thought I was trying to submit a receipt for some type of reimbursement?!... by coordinator had to send it in a second time, and it goet a "RUSH" request to get it pushed through. In all, I think it took me about a month... but my coordinator said it should only take 2 weeks.
Calling could be a good plan. I had to call mine to get the matter sorted out, I was also able to give them verbal authorization to speak directly with the coordinator from Bio Advance, so she could also call and try and get the issue sorted out
