October 3, 201213 yr Paperwork is being submitted today. I think I should probably wait a week to call the insurance company. It's gonna be hell!!!!
October 3, 201213 yr My paperwork was submitted on Monday...it's been 48 hrs of torture waiting for the phone to ring. They told me to call back next Monday, but it could be up to 2 weeks before I know!
October 3, 201213 yr Fingers crossed they're both approved in less than that! I'm hoping to have it done before the holidays. I'm up in the EC area.
October 3, 201213 yr Author I sure hope they both are accepted! If I had a choice, surgery would be in the beginning to middle of Dec. I want to have a nice Thanksgiving and birthday!
October 3, 201213 yr OMG! I couldn't wait so I called my insurance company...I'M APPROVED!!!! I hope you get a speedy approval too! I'm so happy.
October 3, 201213 yr Author That is AWESOME!!!! So excited for you! I hope mine is accepted as quickly as yours was! Congrats!!!!
October 3, 201213 yr Me too! The first time I called (on Monday), they didn't have the paperwork yet. 48 hrs later it's approved. I hope the same for you!
October 3, 201213 yr I sent you a friend request. Not sure how all that works, since I'm pretty new here.
October 3, 201213 yr Let me give u my story I have bcbs my paperwork was submitted on 9/25 I was told by the docs office it takes between 2 to 4 weeks. On 10/1 I cld insurance co I had been approved on 9/27. I cld my doc office she had not received approval. I cld the provider, they said they had fax info to doc office, so they re faxed info. On 10/2 I cld doc office twice and told them what insurance co said on 10/2 around 7 pm doc office cld with surgery date of 9/29/12. Case and point I was accerative in the process. Sometimes the folks working for the doc office do not go the xtra mile nor do they put themselves in our shoes. The morale of this story is help them, make calls and make it happen
