    BS of Cali -seemed like a week. My medical group is the same group that my doctor works for (UC Davis) so that made the process easier.

    BCBS took 48 hours. I called my insurance to check on the approval because I couldn't wait for the doctor's office to call me and tell me. I was just a tad impatient and excited! :)

    I have United Healthcare and it took two weeks. There was a holiday during the two weeks. My doctor's office and I both called several times to check the status to try and move things more quickly
