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 haven't spoken to them, just the general number, the other day they gave me a number to pre-cert but it was BCBS of Georgia so I wasn't sure if this was correct. So I have continued to call the general number.

I also have Anthem BCBS and I am so glad to have read this post! I now know what to look forward to when my office does submit the paperwork!

Unfortunately I have emailed my PA twice this week to find out when she is submitting my paperwork but she has not responded yet! Ugh!

They call a number and get a case started then from there they fax im the paperwork.

Finally have a case number today. I will call back on Thursday or I may call them next Monday to see my status. they say its in review now do I don't even think they have looked at it yet

Took them 3 weeks to tell me I was DENIED! Well actually no one told me I had to call and find out..... Heart breaking

I am so sorry to hear this, remember many insurances will deny you. According to the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons, insurance companies will do this in hopes that you give up. They will find errors in paperwork or errors in filing etc. to deny you. This is an expensive surgery and if they can get a few people to say "forget it or I'm done" that's money in their pocket. So don't give up file an appeal, don't let them win.

I have *** of IL. I call every other day. They received my paperwork on Jan 23, rejected it on Jan 25. My surgeon's nurse said everything was sent. I guess I'll find out in about 20 min. when I call AGAIN.

Good luck to you all!
