I have BCBS of MD and submitted to insurance last Thursday!! Hoping to hear something this week. From most folks experience, how long did it take you to find out something from Insurance?

On pins and needles!!!! :wink2:

Sending positive vibes your way!!! I have fed bcbs and it took about 2 weeks to get approved. Good luck

Mine is supposed to be submitted this week. I am waiting too. My surgeon said that since I had everything in order, It should only take BC/BS about 48 to 72 hours. I hope that is true. I am ready to move forward.

I hope you get approval right away. It is so hard waiting!

I am soooooo upset right now! I just called my surgeon's office just to make sure its been submitted and they tell me they are waiting on the dietation to finish her report!!!! OMG, she told me she would have it completed within a day and submit last Thursday!

I have done my part and now you tell me its been seating on her desk for almost a week!?!?! I can't stop crying....

So, call the dietician yourself....the squeeky wheel gets the attention. I bugged the living daylights out of the doctor that did my sleep study to get his report in on time to keep my scheduled surgery date.

Yeah, I've called twice today and she is booked back to back with patients. I've left several messages for her to return my call. If I don't hear anything by the end of the work day today, I am going to drive the 50 minutes tomorrow and wait until she finishes my report....I can't believe she's doing this to me.

I have Anthem BC/BS of Maine. I was submitted for approval on 7/14. I received an approval letter yesterday from the Ins. Co. dated 7/16 :bored:

So I Called insurance and they say they recieved it on July 25th and current status as of last Friday July 31st is pending....

Praying that I find out good news by my support group meeting this Thursday!!!!

I sure hope you hear soon. I am in the same boat. I saw my surgeon on July 16 and was told it would be submitted within a week. Today, Aug 3, I called the insurance and they have received nothing from my surgeon's office. I called the surgeon's office and did not get a call back.

Don't they have any idea what they are doing to us? I am sooooo frustrated and angry!:smile2:

Mia - The insurance process is so frustrating!! Once mine was finally submitted I got approved in 2 days - so maybe that will happen to you. I see you're in MD. Where are you having surgery?

Good luck!

I'm actually going through a surgeon's office in Virginia. Bluepoint Surgical Group.

Called insurance on Monday and the lady stated that the nurse was reviewing all my records...I guess I'm getting closer?!? How long does it take to review documents???

Very fustrating but I have began a strict diet and excercise regime to get me in the mindset of my soon to be new life style!!! I just hope I hear something this week!
