Waiting On Approval

[Mz Need da Sleeve 17]

Psych eval complete. Hopefully the coordinator submitted everything to insurance today. Now I wait. Hopefully I will have an approval by next week!

I have my fingers crossed for you.

good luck!

I swear I'm going to get angry. No paperwork at bcbs yet. SMH.

[iwannabslim 67]

I would call your coordinator to find out what is going on. I can understand your frustration. Heck, I have my approval letter, BUT I'm STILL having to wait to schedule... SMH

I've emailed her with no response. As usual.

What about going down there??....Its easier for them to dodge you over the phone and computer.

On a better note I heard that bcbs has the fastest approval time. Good luck.

Two to three days. And I'm tired of calling and emailing.

Mine waited 2 weeks to submit!

Ok BCBS has the request on file! Calling back Monday to check the status.

[iwannabslim 67]

Glad they finally have your info. Mine was submitted on a Thursday, and I was approved either Monday or Tuesday. Hopefully you will have your approval just as quickly. Good luck!

I will be calling on Monday. I have an appt with the surgeon Tuesday.

I understand the frustration. I got my approval today. Keep your head up and think positive.

Great congrats! How long did it take?

[msYoYo 17]

Long story but here's the short version. It took them 8 days to give a denial, then I had to submit more paperwork. After that it took 2 days to give an approval. So, it took 2 weeks in total. Don't get discouraged. Also, trust your coordinator they are working on your behalf. Without surgeries, they are unemployed so trust that they are trying hard to get your approval. Keep me posted. My date is the 7th.
