I received notice for BCBS Anthem today that my surgery was approved on the 26th, so now I am waiting a call from my surgeons office to schedule the surgery. For all who might want to know the timeline, I'll include these facts: I first saw the surgeon for the consult on February 1. I spent until the 16th of March going through all the tests and PCP approvals to get to the submittal stage. The surgeon's office submitted the paperwork to BCBS Anthem on March 19, so it took just about a week to get the approval. Getting anxious now, and can't wait!! I've been mostly lurking on this site until now. Now I will begin posting progress reports as they come.

Congratulations on your approval and all the best on your journey!

Congrats!! I'm so excited for you!!!

Congratulations. I found out today that Aetna approved the surgery. I'm scheduled for April 16th.
