Anyone else have BCBS? How long did approval take?

I have NC BCBS... my approval took a little less than a week.

Mine is IL & they told me to submit everything after my 2nd dietary counseling session so they can have time to look over everything pending my 3rd visit. I'm already penciled in for the surgery the next week so just praying it is swift & everything goes accordingly. The countdown is on lol

I have BCBS in NY (government). I was approved within a week after meeting all of my requirements. Good luck.

They said it would be 48 hours. It was submitted Friday morning. It took only a few hours!

Awesome! My last nutrition counseling is dec 11 & I'm scheduled for the following Friday, dec 18. It HAS to be then! The next two Friday's are holidays & he only does surgery there on Friday. If it doesn't go thru then I won't be able to get it til Jan & then I'll have to meet my new deductible. So, it will be a minute!!!! I'm a nervous wreck! Kicking myself in the butt for not starting sooner.

I have Keystone 65. My doctor submitted my request before I was even finished with testing. Attended seminar end of May. I had my first appt with the surgeon in June & had surgery in September. I received my approval in August. In the midst of all of this I took off July because of family obligations. Otherwise I probably could have been sleeved a month earlier.

how fortunate are we that BCBS is so responsive!!!

I am having the issue that BCBS is saying I am covered but my workplace is saying that it isn't. So I am still working on my 6 months even though everything is up in the air. But seeing how fast people are saying this is has me hopeful that I can have my surgery in February!!

4 days

1 hour

I have BCBS of IL also and it took about a day and a half lol. Very quick

I hope BCBS of Minnesota is quick my last Dietitian appointment is 11/2

Awesome news!!! I can't wait!
