I got an email today saying they received my last clearance from my dietician and it would be going to insurance. Wooohoooo does it really take the full 30 days to hear back????

I've been reading these post for 2 months now and some have insurance response in as little as a week! Hang in there!

Ok thanks for the response

My approval came back in less than 2 weeks, it just depends on how quickly they get around to it and if you've jumped through all the hoops already.

I've definitely jumped through all of therr hoops to the point where I was 15 days away from my final 6 month supervised diet visit when they did away with the requirement lol

My insurance finished in a week, but they couldn't read my sleep labs, so it took a few extra days to get those updated. They also didn't call me when I was approved, I called to check on the status.

Okay so I think I'll call on Friday to see if they received it from my surgeon's office and then follow up a week or so later.

I'm ready to SCREAM was notified that my file was sent to the submission person on 07/22/14 to submit to BCBSNC. I called BCBSNC this morning just to confirm that they have received it not even checking on approval or denial at this point because it is so early on but just to make sure they received re it and was told that they DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AS OF YET GRRRRR this is the part that is going to drive me looney.

I was notified on 7/22 that my package was being submitted to Anthem Blue Cross CA. I have no comorbidities, BMI 44, and MANY attempts at weight loss, including a year of Weight Watchers. I hope for an approval! And quickly.

Better - 7/22 to 7/23 is not enough time.

Insurance companies have docs submit and it goes into a "queue" that's then reviewed by a specific department responsible for the item. It still has to make it's way from intake to that team. Give it a couple days. Like 3 at least before a lowly customer service rep can see it.

Well when I spoke to my insurance they are the ones that told me if it was called in a case is opened during the call and if It's faxed it takes 24-48 for them to see it. Truth of the matter is it didn't get sent on the 22nd it got sent today so I'll follow up mid week to confirm the my insurance has it.
