Yeah I received my approval letter from BCBS today in the mail. A copy was mailed to my doctors office as well, so once they receive their letter the coordinator will call me and I will get scheduled! Can't wait. I'll keep you all posted. :tt2:

    Wow! I have BCBS, too. How long did it take for you to get your approval?

    BCBS is great! Mine was approved a day after it was submitted and I got a letter 5 days later (weekend!) Congratulations...you will not regret it!

    Careful about BCBS. I too have it and was approved quickly. Sadly though what I was told would be my portion of payment, and what in actually are my portion, are extremely diffferent amounts. I owe a lot of unexpected money. They kill ya on the medical supplies and other fees.

    It only took about a week for approval. I called to check on the paperwork once to confirm they received it, and about a week later and it had already been approved and mailed out. Before apply/submitting my paperwork I spoke with a BCBS rep on the phone and we reviewed my expenses. Since I have the PPO and its an outpatient procedure, i have no copay at all. So far all I've had are my regular copays for the visit to the doctor. Oh one exception, they don't cover visits to the nutritionist but since i'd seen her before under my previous insurance, the hospital gave me a discount.
