I have had my psych evaluation, nut consult and surgical consult. I am now waiting on insurance approval. I am not a patient lady! How long does bcbs of il take to approve? ????????????????????????????

Have you heard anything yet? It appears we are at about the same place on our journey. I had my first appointment March 24, psych consult and nut visit were completed by April 6. I called my doc office insurance advocate (True Results) on TuesdayApril 21. She said they had everything they needed to submit to insurance and had 72 hours to review/double checking out and would then submit to BCBS IL for approval. I hope that happened Friday or will happen Monday I'm very impatient. I will probably call my insurance this week to see if they have received anything. ????

Forgot to mention I am having sleeve surgery, but I would assume the approval would take about the same amount of time.

I have BCBS too. I was first denied but then we appealed it and it took about 6-8 weeks before they finally approved it. However, BCBS had a security breach and that seemed to cause a delay. Good luck with everything!

I was approved a week later but it took two more weeks last that for the insurance company to receive the approval. Very easy to work with. I just used the online chat for bcbs il to check the status. Surgery is June 3rd

My surgery is May 19 and I'm super excited! Congratulations on your surgery date!
