If I get approved for surgery, does anyone know how long I can wait to get the surgery before the approval by the insurance company is not longer effective?

I'll be submitting to insurance in 2-3 weeks and am hoping for a surgery the first week in January or late December....but there's been some issues that have been newly discovered at the start of this whole process that may need to get sorted out before I get this surgery =(

Anyone know how long I can wait once I'm approved till it expires?

I heard six months but I have anthem bluecross PPO...

Thank you! I will call my insurance company. Ugh, it sucks finding out about new medical issues.

I hope it's not serious
