Hi everyone! I heard from my surgeon's office (Dr. Pirrello) that they are submitting my packet to insurance for pre-approval TODAY! I am so excited & nervous! I don't see many posts about bcbs- North Carolina, so I am hoping somebody will step up & share their experiences with getting approved.

The assistant said that it normally only takes 2-3 days to get approval from them, SO HERE IS HOPING FOR GOOD NEWS MIDWAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK!!

Is there any reason that you WON'T get approved if you meet the requirements ( & have for the last 5 years) & it is a covered surgery on your policy? I am just curious if they can deny you even if you meet the requirements & are in good health to have the surgery.

THANKS!!

Good luck too you! I ahve different insurance than you so I can't help you there. I think if you haven't heard from the insurance in the next couple days you should call and check on th stauts. Thats what I did and I got the good news way before my Dr. knew. The sooner you know the sooner you can get to the next step of the process. Good Luck keep updating!
