Mannnn I'm trying not to think about it to much but every time my phone rings I get excited then nothing.... Everything was submitted 1/11 so I know I got a week or two, but I want my date now I'm a planner and I don't like last minute things. I guess I'll keep prepping so no matter what I'm ready ???? but still what was the turn around for other NJ BCBS members if any???

I was told no more than 2 weeks. Did you have to do the 6mos diet for approval?

Mine was approved in less than 2 weeks. I want to say maybe even a week - but don't quote me on that.

I have BCBS Anthem which they require a 6 mos diet. Im doing the diet with the nutrionist at my surgeon's office. So each month we meet and do weigh ins, blood pressure check, etc. I have 2 more appt to go. The nurse there said she and the surgeon usually have the paperwork completed in a few days and typically here back from the insurance company within 2 weeks. She said they have so many days to respond but I can't remember what she said. This was first discussed at my first appointment so if you already submitted your paperwork than perhaps you do not have to do 6mos diet
