How long did your process take to get approval?

:redface:Hi Everyone,

Just wondering what the general concensus is on after you did all of your appointments - how long it took for them to submit to insurance and how long insurance took for approval. I finished all my prereq appointments on Friday. I wonder if I should call my surgeons office on Monday and ask them how long will it take to gather the whole package and send to the insurance...

I have Anthem BCBS PPO and I live in Virginia. I am so nervous - I need your prayers!

Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!

    Argyle,

    I totally understand your frustrations and being afraid. I am so afraid and just cant wait to hear from the insurance company!!! I am on pins and needles. I am just trying to keep calm and pray about it. But it is hard. I am so happy for you. Congrats!!!
