I kind of feel like I'm kicking a dead horse here- like I've been posting a little excessively so please forgive me BUT...

My surgeon's office faxed over all my pre-authorization info last week so I called BCBSIL today just to make sure that they have everything they need and the Rep, who was very nice by the way, said that she actually just sent it over for review today.

I told her I know that she must get asked this about a hundred times a day, but roughly how long does it usually take for a decision and she said it shouldn't take more than a day or so. WOW! I'm really excited now that I know it could be so soon- now I can't stop thinking about it!

I'm trying to think positive thoughts- I've been telling everyone that I'm 'waiting on approval', not 'waiting on a decision' and silly as it sounds it's been helping. I just want this so badly- I NEED this so badly! Now I'm going to try to keep myself from calling and harassing them- I'll be sure to stop by the post office every day and check my mail. Wish me luck! :thumbup:

Good luck for a speedy approval and OR date!!!!!

Hopefully your process will go quickly and you will have your date before you know it! I know the waiting the is the worst part...just hang in there.
