How long till i start bugging ins comp?

My surgery is sched. For may 30th... My paperwork was just sent out... So my question is when should I start checking the status. I have horizon nj direct access! I'm so anxious, excited, and mostly worried that I'm getting myself so excited and then I won't be approved!

I would give it a week. If you don't hear anything give your insurance a call and see if they have any questions you can help answer. My paperwork went in on a Tuesday and was approved by Friday. They typically say 1 week.

Good luck!!

I started calling my insurance company two days after the paperwork was submitted. I wanted to make sure they had received all the paper work. I received my approval within 4 days.

Best of luck to you!

Just a heads up...your ticker says banded 11/30/13...I assume that should be 11/30/12

Good luck with the new you. I was approved instantly by computer. I guess every hospital and insurance company is different. I would call Thursday or Friday and that way they have a heads up that you are interested in them pushing it through.

Thank u guys so much for all your suggestions.... If I don't hear anything I'll try and call Thursday or Friday to double check that they have everything! It would be amazing to have an answer so quick! I'm guessing you guys all had your surgery? How did everything go? And any good Protein shakes that were somewhat enjoyable? Lol

My surgery is this Friday. As far as proein shakes, I really like the Unjury flavors. Specifically the chocolate Splendor and the chicken Soup.

I def have to try and find them, I've heard pretty good things about that.... Do you buy it online? And they have a chicken Soup flavor? I love chocolate! I'll def be living off of chocolate Protein shakes! Lol

Only day 3 of being submitted and I'm already getting anxious! It's like a awful waiting game.. The insurance company's make this so difficult! In the meantime I'm probably giving myself an ulcer being so nervous and anxious about finding out if I will be approved.. And my surgery date is may 30th! So I'm worried if they don't make a decision it will be rescheduled...

I have horizon bcbs- took them 23 days to approve me:( but I got it. Now waiting on the surgeons office. They wouldn't schedule anything for me until the rec'd the letter. They got it Tuesday and told me they would be in contact to start the process. They have until tomorrow afternoon and then I am calling them.

Wow 23days... I guess it looks like mine is going to be changed from the 30th if they take that long.. ???¢
