I know that times can vary, but I really wonder how fast I can get the insurance approval and a surgery date, I'm ready to do this. AAMC hospital in Annapolis MD and

The waiting is the worst, isn't it? But don't worry, one day soon the phone'll ring, and your date will be sooner than you expected! Hang in there....

Heya,

I have BCBSTX and was approved in FOUR DAYS. My doc had said that I should prepare to wait around 30 days for the insurance to approve or deny.. but one night I couldn't sleep and I was just reading around on my BCBS account and saw it was approved in the "claims" section. (I didn't even know it would show up on my account).

I contacted the coordinator and she said she got the approval and was going to call me in the afternoon to let me know.

I don't know if this is typical of BCBSTX, but mine was approved in days. With that said, I did have a lot of "comorbidities" (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides and close to diabetic). That might have been why they approved it so quickly?

I am sure different insurance companies worked differently on approvals though.

I hope you get word soon and it is approved!

My insurance paperwork was submitted on Tuesday and I was told it would take 3-5 business days fingerscross and hopefully we hear something back soon! The coordinator has blocked off July 14 as my surgery date.
