When will paperwork be sent for approval?

Hey everyone! My name is Lindsey and I'm new to the forums. I have been reading a lot over the last few weeks and finally decided to ask a question.

My question is when does the surgeon send out my info to my insurance for approva (BCBS of Mass)l? My guess is they have to have the sleep study back? My pre-op is scheduled for April 22 and surgery is April 28th.

My consult was March 1st.

Psych eval was March 15th

Nutrition was March 17th.

Sleep study was yesterday March 30th.

I'm so excited and happy I just have a feeling it's going to be a long month of waiting!

Keep up with your surgeon's office and your insurance company and make sure everything is going along according to plan. I had a problem with getting approved in a timely manner because things were missing or not being sent out on time. I actually got my approval letter AFTER my surgery (although I did call the insurance company to make sure I was covered first). It took over two months for my insurance company to approve me. Hopefully you'll have an easier time than I did!

My paperwork was sent out once they had 6 month diet history, nut evaluation surgeons evaluation and psych evaluation. I guess it really depends on the office though. I would give them a call and check!
