Waiting on approval

[Guest billiebranham]

Hi everyone! I have been through all the processes necessary for surgery for my daughter. She is 14, 5'3" and 268 lbs. She has always been overweight and moved into the obese catagory at 3 years old despite a "normal" eating pattern.

Well, Monday I verified that the insurance company, BC/BS of MN,

had received the papers from the Doctor that included two psych eval's (just in case since she is bi-polar). I was informed that the case was in the medical review boards hands.

Question....how long do I wait or how often do I call the insurance company to find out about approval/denial? I am anxious and hoping for the best (knowing deep inside we will probably get denied :phanvan ) but don't want to make the insurance company angry by calling too often. Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
