I have been waiting for insurance approval for 3 weeks now and I am wondering if this is a normal wait time or if I should be concerned?!?!? I am in Arizona with a BC/BS insurance with a Zenith Administrator.......if anyone has any advice please calm my nerves :party:

Hey, I am in Az with BCBS admin by AmeriBen. I went with true results. The insurance did not take but a couple days to approve. How ever, the Scottsdale oofice told me they sent off the insurance info, which they did, but it gets sent to another office back east where they review it very thoroughly. That took several weeks. You can contact your insurance and they will give you the number to their approval department. Contact them and they will tell you if they even have it yet and if so at what point in the process is. Hope this helps, Wayne

Wayne,

Thank you so much for you advice I was really getting worried when I saw alot of threads about people getting approved in one or two days. I will be calling BCBS tomorrow morning :-) Keep you fingers crossed for me!

Thanks again, Katie

I'm in the same boat. I have BCBS of Texas and they are taking forever to even look at my documents. It's been 2 weeks and every time I call my insurance company, who ever I get in touch with tells me that my papers are there but no one has looked at them. When I tell them if someone can please look at them as soon as possible all they tell me is "well, just give it another week and a half or 2 weeks" It's driving me crazy. I'm a college student and due to start the nursing program this fall and was really hoping to get my LAP-BAND®® surgery before the semester starts on August 30. Looks like I'm going to have to put it off til school has break which will be Thanksgiving break.
