Submitted to insurance yesterday



Recommended Posts

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

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. :wacko:

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! :lol:

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

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
