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

I am on YouTube as dreamsleever and on facebook as dreamsleever. Day 5 of 15 today. Not sure how people are getting approved same day or within two days.

_{I haven't heard anything today.}

I called and they say they still don't have the paperwork when I call the pre-cert dept. I am getting a little irritated, my stuff was submittd on last Wed afternoon.

Same here nothing, feel like going ape sh**.

I feel your pain . I'm going through the same situation . My paperwork was suppose to be submitted on jan 14. I called the surgical coordinator and she claims she submitted last week. However , when I called the insurance today , they told they have not received anything from my surgeon. I'm super anxious bc I really want to be sleeved in feb . If I don't get a decision my next week , I'm getting all my paperwork n transferring to another hospital .

Don't do it yet, give it a little time. You don't want to start all over. I know how you feel . It's just sooooo heartbreaking when you have people say "I was told in 1 dat or 2 days even 3 days. I am screaming on the inside right now!!

That's how I feel . I anxious and constantly looking at my phone . I'm praying that by the end of this week , I get my approval .

You should allway call insurane yourself (at least once a day) this isn't something that we have work hard to get here... I was approved in less than 2 days and knew it before doctors office

You and me both, when I went to the surgeons office for my fist visit I almost left. I was waiting for an hour and a half and no one said a word. In the office I made a call to see another surgeon the next week, as I was about to leave they called me in. I was so impatient I can't believe I was going to leave. My husband was like "What is wrong with you calm down". It took me a while to finally make this decision so I was on the edge of a nervous breakdown. . So I am glad I simmered down, but this waiting it upping my boiling point. What insurance do you have?

I have anthem bcbs, who does everyone else have?

I am wondering if it's the insurance company or the surgeons office. I want to hear something on today.

Someone told me that they had to wait the full 15 days before approval. This is day 6 of 15 today. This is in business days. Seems like it takes a whole month after you've submitted or at least just about. I guess I should be glad that I am closer than when I started.

Anthem BCBS

Called again today, got the same old story Nothing!! What the heck is going on. Why do they say they have not received Any Paper Work? I know I am anxious but I feel like the office is SLOW!!

It could be two things going on. One is that they truly don't have the paperwork another is that once they send the paperwork it must be going to another dept then that dept may need to look it over. My stuff was submitted on last Wed around the afternoon timeframe. I have heard that it can take 15 business days so all is not lost yet for us. I will call every other day to check on it though. I am calling the pre-cert dept. Which dept are you calling?
