Oh my oh my...its been submitted!

Now the real wait begins! My PA emailed me to let me know that she has submitted my paperwork to the insurance and they tell her to wait at least 15 business days to hear back from them.

I have Anthem BCBS, so if you have the same insurance...how long is the real wait?

Gosh, that is soooooo frustrating. I know because I had to call my doctors office everyday for 2 weeks to get them to fax all my stuff in. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Monday morning get started and soon all this will be a bad memory.

I had my information all sent to the insurance on Thursday last week. They told me that it could take up to 15 days.... That is going to seem like an eternity. I am so excited to start this journey!

I just checked with my insurance company (Premera Blue Cross) and was told that the request is pending and they have 15 business days to review to provide an answer. They received everything on 2/11 and now I just have to wait. I'm so anxious. I am hoping it won't take the 15 days....

I would follow up with your surgeon's office to find out what is going on.

Congrats to all who got approval! My info was submitted today! To say the least its been a very emotional day! My ins coordinator says ill most likely be denied... yay, but I called United and they did receive my request so i'm going to be positive and hope for the best.
