Hi guys, how long does it take to get a response from the insurance?
I have husky

Mine was approved the same day as it was submitted.

Really? Did u have husky?

Hi! I'm new here too. Had my VSG on 12/27/18. It took my insurance about 2 weeks to approve. BCBS (Highmark)

I have GHI. When I completed all of my tests, nutrition visits and a pre requisites I called GHI. I asked them if I was covered for the surgery just to make sure. The Customer Rep told me that I was covered. I told her that I was waiting for the doctor to submit for the approval for surgery. She said that she could start the process and gave me a control number. I called my surgeons office and spoke to the office manager who was surprised that I could initiate the approval process. Needless to say, I was approved in less than a week. Sometimes it just works out really well.
