How long does it usually take?

All my info was fax to my insurance company on 9/8/14. Does anyone know how long it takes to get a response? I feel so nervous and need some advice :)

    You can always call your insurance company and ask them. I did and they told me the status of my approval and also told me they had 10 business days to review and make a decision. No harm in asking!

  • Depends on your insurance company. I was told mine takes a week to a week and a half. Good luck! I hope to hear back quickly. Summer

  • Thanks I was thinking the same

Thanks ginger that's a great idea

My info. was sent to the insurance company Sept. 6 and the clinic said it would take 3-4 weeks. I guess it takes so long because the hospital had to approve before it was sent to the insurance company.

My information was sent 9/8 also. Im so impatient. Hope we hear something sooner than later.

  • 4 weeks later...

Anthem BCBS told me 15 business days max. Today is day one, I can't wait! ????
