Can anyone from NJ with Blue Cross Blue Shields insurance tell me how long did it take for the insurance to approve the surgery? I am getting bit nervous because I am schedule for surgery on July 3rd and I will finish with all the requirements test on June 13th and I dont know if it will be approved on time.. Any advice will be greatly appreciated..

Fingers crossed for us..

From what I have been told, when you have BCBS they wait until the last minute to submit you because they (BCBS) never denies. That is what the admin at my surgeons office told me... I called and asked them to submit my claim immediately (because I was nervous also) and they nicely did, then called me two days later to tell me I am approved! Call the admin of you surgeons office and set you mind at ease. Now all I gotta do is show up, lay down take a few deep breaths & wake up & start living!

hmd, I sure hope that is the case! I am one of those people who is extremely impatient. I feel like that is all I think about at work.... when is my claim going to be approved? What is they deny me?

I had mine done in Philadelphia and was told by my Surgeon that they don't have problems with BCBS approving the surgery. They assured me that it would not be a problem and there wasn't any issues with it. I was nervous too, but they were good to work with.
