Perhaps too late an answer, but when I had a SCS trail, it was in for about a month from start to insurance approval.
On that basis, you should have your answer by now, if you already started the physical trail portion.
Prayers 🙏🏼 and hope it's all worked out for you.

I do not know enough about it but, I do have a pain pump implant under my skin. It helps and I am not going 911. I take everything I need at home. Painkillers and all
that goes with it (other meds). I have Medicare and IHEP. They seem to take care of the bills. I have a small share of the costs. Well enjoy yourself and remember to slow down because you have an issue that is not visible. People do not understand hidden disabilities!! I always hope that you understand my post because I am usually in pain when I sit. I am leaving now, but keep in contact with me and enjoy the fact you are getting out and it is with family!!
Take Care
