My case is still pending approval. Was hoping I would get an answer today. 1/22 marks the 15 days.

Should be any day now. It generally takes two weeks (10 business days).

Mine was pretty quick with BCBS, maybe 6 days ? Though I also called my care coordinator at BCBS and that helped speed the process up!!

Yeah mine goes straight to voice-mail and doesn't return calls.

Oh no that’s awful!!! That doesn’t help you at all! Maybe the surgeons office could help by giving them a call? Fingers crossed you hear soon!

Yeah BCBS customer reps always send her messages to call me( I call everyday, lol) she called Wed but I was at work. She left a message to call her but every time I do says she’s not available and I leave voicemails, but no return call yet.

My coordinator sent my info in too early according to BCBS they literally waited 2 wks before surgery to approve my surgery. They said because it was sent in so early they were handling the claims closer to surgery dates.

The coordinator submitted it Nov. 20, 2020, surgery day was Dec. 7 and they approved me Dec. 2, 2020

So I was wrong.. they approved it days before my surgery date!!!

Lol I probably won’t find out until Feb now, doggit!

Lets hope they do you better!!??

I have BCBS my paperwork was sent in on 12/23 I got my approval on 1/5 it was the hardest few days of my life lol

Congratulations, I’m still waiting it went from I should know by 1/22 to I should know by 1/28 back to I should know by the end of the week. I think they are tired of me calling each day.

Yes it is extremely frustrating but you’ll be approved soon.

How long did it take for your doctors office to receive your approval? My insurance called on 1/20 to say I was approved but my doctor office says they haven’t received anything.
