Good evening everyone!!! So I got "THE CALL" this afternoon!!!!! My surgery is scheduled for September 4th ,BUTTT my insurance company had yet to approve it! It kinda bummed me out! Have any of you guys been through this? If so, what was the outcome?

Yes, they scheduled my surgery before insurance approval. I was told that they wouldn't schedule it if they weren't sure approval would go through. I have Federal BCBS....my approval came the week before my surgery date.

Same here. I have Cigna. My surgery was scheduled 3 weeks ago and I just found out on Friday tht I was approved. Keep calm and just check in here and there. You have some time.

I am in the same situation but i know for a fact they haven't submitted my paper work because they were waiting on my 6 month i can change program finish letter. I go on Thursday for all my preop testing and final stuff and they scheduled me for surgery already (date is Sept 5th). From what i have dealt with before Tufts responds fast so I am not worried. Good luck to you!

If you have any doubts call your insurance company, I kept in CLOSE contact with my insurance company. I think at least weekly making sure they did not need anything else.

Yes i agree with dark. Be pro active n call ur insurance and ask the insurence wats the average wait time for a responce

BCBS was very helpful when I called them myself. Do yourself a favor and stay on top of it yourself with your ins company.
