May 14, 201610 yr It never hurts to call the insurance company. Just call customer service and let them know you want to check the status of your authorization. I called everyday when I was waiting...lol

Sent from my LG-H811 using the BariatricPal App With the 6 day back log you should hear something Monday or tues....you have exactly the same insurance as me! We are covered under my husband's plan through the State of Florida employees.....He's a corrections officer at a prison. The good news with being on the State insurance contrat is that Florida Blue doesn't out-source our Medical Auths....they review them in house rather than sending them off-shore like all the rest. I feel sure you'll hear something next week but give them a call. They were very helpful each time I called.
