[mommykristie 59]

My husband found out within 24 hours and I found out within 3 days with bcbsal.

It has been almost 2 weeks for me,I am still waiting for approval, in pending status ...I have bcbs

Have you called them? If it were me I would have it was 2 weeks. That's just me though, and I'm impatient

I always call! LOL it was denied once cause it had inpatient so my Ins coordinator resubmited for out patient. I always call to find out status on Monday notes were updated and insurance requested additional info from surgeon so it is still pending!

I got denied the first time with Cigna. One of the reasons for it was they had my DOB wrong and said I was under 18!! It's been a couple decades since I've been a teenager...LOL

Took about a week and a half for me I have united healthcare. I ended up calling and found out that way that I was approved

I know each insurance is different, but hown long did you have to wait between submitting to your insurance and when they approved it. I'm not talking about how long did it take to meet all the requirements (ie 6 months supervised weight loss...) but how long from the time you met all the requirements and submitted until you got the approval letter.

Can you tell I'm submitting to insurance this week?

I was approved in less than a week.

Doctor said I am good candidate and now have to wait for other doctor to fax my weight record for last five years, so they can submit to insurance and then see what insurance says. I hate waiting lol
