OK I have been waiting to finally complete this journey now for a few years. Ever since I finally decided to go though it I have been so excited and I know that this is the right decision for me. I have BCBS of Illinois and my doctor just called and said that i have successfully completed my 3 month program requirment and that she was submitting my paper work to the insurance complany. I am so excited and nervous @ the same time. I want to get this over ASAP. So now I am worried about how long it will take BCBS to approve me. Can anyone please give me some type of idea how long it takes BCBS to approve?

I have BCBS in NC. Dr Enochs office submitted my package on Monday and iwas told today I have my approval. That was much quicker than I was expecting. I plan to do my surgery in late Nov as that's when I have several days off work. I hope your answer is just as quick and also a yes.

thanks Cali for replying. From what I have seen BCBS appoves pretty quickly. I have heard as early as 24 hours. I am just so excited i feel like calling them everyday. But If I get approved by next week i want my surgery ASAP. So good Luck to you as well..
