BCBS is a great company. No other company will approve you faster or treat you better. I had United Healthcare at the time of my surgery and I wished I had BCBS. So just give them a call and maybe they will push the paperwork faster.

I have BS of Ca, SUPER fast approval! The whole process for me only took 3 months - from 1st doctor consult!

I wish you much luck

I have BCBS Federal and they were fantastic. Once the paperwork was in I was approved the next day.

I have BCBS also. I'm at the VERY beginning of my journey. What pre-op stuff does bcbs require? 3-6 months of dieting????

Oh, and how much out of pocket did others pay?

BCBS got rid of the 6 months diet monitoring.

I agree bc/bs is awesome. I will be 2 months from 1st appointment to my surgery date. Once they had my file, it was 8 days for approval. They say to allow 2 wks. Seems like most ave approval in a much shorter time.

It all depends on your particular insurance plan. Give them a call and they'll tell you your exact requirements.
