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.

[peachmedly46 8]

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!!!

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

[Pdub8112 9]

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.
