The surgeon's office said it could take Anthem BCBS 14 business days to respond. Now I look at my phone every ten minutes to see if I missed a call lol

You can also call BCBS yourself and check with them. When my insurance was submitted surgeon's office said same thing. I called BCBS 2 days later to see if they received it and not only have they received it they had already approved it. Good luck

My claim was submitted on the 24th also, Good Luck!!

Sending good vibes! Hope you hear soon!

thanks I will call my surgeons office on Monday when they open up.

Same for me, I am calling again Monday bright and early. I am so nervous I could scream. Keep me posted when you hear something.

I called and it takes 7~10 days to get in the system

I got somewhat the same answer, they probably have the paperwork, but the Nurse has to review it and it's not in the system. My heart sank to my feet. At least I know that it won't be long, everybody seems to get a response pretty quickly with Anthem. I keep my fingers crossed for you also, it would be funny if we get approved on the same day!

This is crazy, not sure why some get approved the same day.

We've already waited 6 months

They gave me the number to the prior-auth department. So I will call in the am they were already closed,

Have you heard anything? I haven't. This is day 4 of 15. I want to hear something by weeks end.

No I called this morning and was told nothing was received yet. I then called the office and asked did they send it in, told her I called. The office coordinator got mad when I told her I called, she said angrily "Why did you call"? I said because I am the one who's having surgery and it's My Insurance company! She checked her attitude and said she also called and they gave her a verification of receipt, but there is still no authorization yet

My office got mad too and said they had it under control and the Nurse at anthem has to do something. We wouldn't be calling if the surgeons office explained what happens. The surgeons office told me that they've done this many times before. I took it as we've done this before and we have it handled. Anthem will keep telling you it's not in the system until apparently the Nurse looks it over. Sounds like the same thing is going on with us. it's day 4 for is, day 15 I'm going off lol

I am feeling CRAZY, especially when I hear people say it only took 1 or 2 days. I guess the norm isn't such a short time. It's hard to be patient when you are ready to get started on a new life. Well at least we are further than we were a month ago I can't believe how both of us are having the same exact issues, too funny. I will friend you. We need to stay in touch throughout this process, hopefully tomorrow will bring us better news!!
