Awesome!

I hope you find out soon. My patient care coordinator told me on Monday that she was hoping to submit my paperwork by thursday, so I hope to hear something by next week! I have Anthem BC and one of the reps told me they have to respond within 5 business days.

i've been waiting over a week. i called the insurance company to follow up and they told me they requested additional information from the doctor. i called the doctor and they said they were on it... i'm going to call the insurance company again today. patience is not one of my strongest virtues. :rolleyes:

I have Anthem as well. My advocate told me when she was filing that they have 30 days legally. But she called me 2 days later with the approval! Yay! Surgery date of 11/4. Good luck! I hope you hear back just as quickly.

and.... they still say pending additional information from the doctor. called the doctor's office who said they faxed it over earlier this week. sigh. trying to stay on top of it, but doesn't seem like i'm being very effective at it. still hoping for a 11/4 date.

Ugh! That sounds so frustrating! I hope you're able to get some answers soon!

Oh no! I hope you hear soon that would be very frustrating. I have Federal BCBS and I have heard that they are fast with reviews and approvals.

Hi I have BCBS Fed Basic and I was approved on Wen after 5 days. I called everyday and stressed Until they finally called me back with the good news( which they normally won't do ,they said I would have to wait for the letter or my Dr to call but they Called me) . My surgery is scheduled for 11/3 a little over two weeks! I hope you Hear something soon!

I called my insurance company today and they have not received a submittal yet. So then I called my doctor's office and they said they are working on it. I asked why they didn't submit it last week and she said that they got to busy, Really? I am not a patience person, :)
