Neither of those tests should take more than a day or two to complete. The insurance approval came within a couple of days for my insurance. Your insurance may or may not be as on-the-ball. Maybe wait a week, then call your rheumy and inquire as to what they've heard from insurance. And from the lab. Good luck with Humira.

It also depends on where your from.
I'm in Australia and it took a while as you need to meet specific criteria (ESR and CRP).
But that is also covered by the Public health system (Medicare) so its not through Health Insurance.
