wait for approval?



Recommended Posts

Can anyone give me an idea of how long it usually takes to get an answer from Horizon BcBs of NJ?

All of the paperwork was faxed last week and I have surgery planned for Dec 13th. This has got to be the worst of all the waits.

thanks!

Finally, an insurance question I can answer!! Lisa, by state mandate Horizon MUST get back to you within 30 days. You should call them midweek this week to make sure they have ALL the documentation they need, because that 30-day clock doesn't start ticking until they do.

In my experience, it doesn't take 30 days for approvals OR denials, but that is the absolute longest they can take by law. Good luck!!

Lisa, keep calling them. Make sure they got all your paperwork. Don't let a week go by with out calling. Write down every time you call and who you spoke to.

Good luck sweetie :)

I had my stuff sent in Nov. 10 and I am still waiting for an answer *sigh* They say it will be as late as Dec. 19 since they didn't send it to Review till that date.

Hello everyone, My insurance said they received the paper wk from Dr. Spivek on Nov. 28, I have United Health Care, does anyone know how long it takes for them to approve? I am new to this so I want to say thanks to ReneBean for getting me on the right page.

Hi Monica,

It should not take more than 10 or so business days for your carrier to make a determination once they have all the required info. If you have confirmed that they DO have all the information they need, you should be hearing soon!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
