BCBS MI and didn't have to get pre-approved. As long as surgeons office covered all of their bases, they just gave me a date.

BCBS of NJ same day. But it took my doctors office 4 days because the person in charge of insurances was out of the office. I called myself to follow up and this is how I found out. According to the person in charge of my case with BCBS said my doctors office sent more paper work then required so they had everything in their hands at once. Didn't have to request more stuff which prolongs the process.
