I'm awaiting my approval/denial from BCBS (of Tennessee Network P). Anyone dealt with them? How hard is it to get approved? I've already jumped through all their requirement hoops. Please - someone give me some advice on what to expect.

iI am curious how you did with BCBS of Tenn. That is who I have and I have not heard how it is going. Kelley

Well my information was all submitted to them by the surgeon's office on November 22, 2010. I got the approval call on December 7. I called the insurance company once or twice and kept steady emails with the surgeon's insurance specialist to make sure to stay on top of it. I would give them a call and see what they can tell you. Good luck!

I went through them and I was told that they respond with an approval or denial within 30 days. I think mine right right about that amount of time. They also try to get you hooked into their Case Management Program. I was really excited about it in the beginning and then it just became a pain in the @. Good luck on your journey!!!

They asked me about case management and I told them I would be fine without it. She did want to call and check on me a few days after surgery but that was fine with me. I just didn't want to deal with the headache of reporting and questions. I guess for someone that needs to be held accountable it may work well for them. I think it would be a pain for me as well... lol

I live in Chattanooga and have BCBS of TN network P also. I am just now beginning to research. Any recommendations or suggestions?

Thanks
