I am so nervous! Submitted paperwork to bcbs of il on april 1st and they got all 47 pages of it. So nervous that they will deny me how long does it normally take for them to reach a verdict?

Wow that's a lot of pages!! Mine goes into insurance next Monday so I am interested in how long approval takes. Have you called them?

The lady i spoke with from bcbs of il said 15 business days. But said to call back in friday

I have BCBS of IL also, did you have to do six month Pre-op diet with you PCP?

I have BCBS of IL as well and my papers were sent in on Friday, March 21st and I just called BCBS and my paperwork is being reviewed and they said it meets the MPM which is some medical manual and I should be approved. 12 business days and now just waiting for them to fax the approval letter to my Dr's office:) So I would say 15 business days is pretty much all it takes!! Good luck!

I have bcbs il as well, I was submitted March 11th and approved the 27th. So didn't take that long and had my surgery date before I had an approval.

Just wanted to let everyone know i called today and i am APPROVED! So excited to join the losers bench have hope everyone xox
