I have BC/BS I have been waiting 3 weeks friday... im calling today to see whats the hold up.

It varies A LOT by insurance company. If you call your company, they will tell you what their timeline is. Here's an example of how widely it varies. I submitted with Cigna initially. Their timeframe is at least 20, but no more than 30 business days. They denied my first submission, and that denial took 30 days. I appealed, and they approved. That appeal took 30 days. I submitted to BCBS and it took a little less than 2 days to be approved.
