Not sure I understand. If you are approved for surgery, usually you have about 60 days to start the process. Here in NC, once you have consult & processes, clock stops. I would call BCBS and ask directly for peace of mind.

Be sure to note date, time & who you talked to, as well as what they said.
Congratulations!

I have Anthem BCBS of GA, not sure if that's the same as what you have. I had to complete 6 months of supervised diet, visits with the Nut and Psych. I didn't have any comorbidities so I had a few less doctors visits then you have. Thankfully, all of my doctors visits were coordinated through the surgeons office to make sure that nothing was missed. Once I finished the last supervised diet appointment the office submitted the paperwork to insurance for approval. It took just a couple of days. Although, I did call the Nurse from BCBS that I was assigned to a few times to make sure I wasn't forgotten. [emoji3]

I hope this helps, if you have any other questions, let me know.
