GreatLadyJ 2 Posted June 7, 2012 I have BC/BS of IL. My surgeon's office faxed my paperwork over on Thursday evening and BC/BS faxed an approval letter the next day...so my approval came in less than 24 hours. I was pretty impressed. I was told by the surgeons office that it takes about a month to hear back, and the insurance told me it usually took 7-10 days to review and approve/deny. So 24-hour turn around was completely unexpected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would research your area and find the best known doctor for the procedure. Contact your Insurance and see what they cover and what critiria you have to have for approval or if self pay just contact the doctors office and get started. You should be able to contact them for the information and they should help you get started. You can see all the things I did in my signature. Let me know if you have any questoins. Im still new to all this, but I might have some advise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
