  7. Still don't know anything yet. Hopefully, it'll all be settled by Tuesday. I can't imagine they are working on Memorial Day.
  8. I am seriously not a patient person. I want my answer yesterday, ya' hear me?? I have BCBS Federal, and I've been reading that they are pretty quick about their decisions. Soooooo, I have been doing what I do best, and calling these poor people everyday since I completed my required visits on Monday (5/18). Tuesday (5/19), BCBS still hadn't received my package from the surgeon's office, so you guessed it, I emailed my patient advocate there. I know I'm super annoying to these people, but my surgeon is going outta town the second weekend of June and not coming back till the end of June, and I want to do this BEFORE he goes. I am crawling outta my skin waiting. I called BCBS a few hours ago, and they told me that part of the package has been approved, but the other part was still being processed??? WHAT does that even mean. So, I of course asked the guy what the heck that all meant, and he said it didn't tell him what was approved and what hasn't been approved yet. UGH. ANYONE else recently used BCBS Fep? And how long did it take??? ACK!! I hate waiting!!!
  9. What insurance do you have??
