Depends on your insurance. I guess they have 30-45 days generally speaking. For me, I have BCBS Fed, got my approval in a week.

All insurance companies are different but by law they have up to 45 days to make their decision. In speaking with people and reading their posts, it never takes more than 2-3 weeks. If you have BCBS and your BMI is over 40 you will automatically be approved - I had a preapproval from them in 2 hours, now I am waiting on my psych analysis to be sent to them for the final approval, that takes about 24-48 hours once the package has been recieved by fax. I hope this helps!

Thanks pretty... My surgeon also said bcbs nj direct is pretty good and pretty quick... I'm just nervous that I won't be approved becuz my bmi is only 36... But I do have high blood pressure severe arthritis, pcos... And diabetes and sleep apnea both run in my family.. My mom has both... My dr said I was a good candidate so I'm crossing my fingers! I guess only time will tell, but I will be so heart broken I'm I'm not approved... Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I'm waiting on mine, as it was submitted last Monday. The office told me generally they hear back from the insurance companies within one week. That's what they have seen. Good luck!

Ksaug, that's what they told me also... I just hope I'm not in that small percent that takes forever! This app has been the greatest thing I've found... I've become addicted to it! Lol I've read so much and it's amazing how complete strangers can be so supportive! I'll keep my fingers crossed for your approval! If you'd like to keep in touch you could always send me a messege on here!
