Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS)

[Sleevie WonderLand 41]

During my journey one of my biggest worries was that I was gonna have to wait several weeks for an approval from Empire BCBS - EPO (most people are down with PPO). Needless to say, my approval took 6 days. My paperwork was submitted on Monday, September 13th, and my coordinator called me on the 19th with the good news. I also received a call today from Empire to verify who I was and to tell me that I was approved for Surgery on October 18th.

KayyyBeee,

Thats great news for you. I have a question for you, which you may or may not be able to answer. I also have empire bcbs and my paperwork has been submitted for approval. On Friday 9-30-11 my wife recieved a phone call from the insurance company looking for me. I work nights so I was at home sleeping and when I woke up and got the message it was to late for me to call them back. They would not give her any information. My question for you is once your paperwork was submitted did you ever recieve a call from your insurace seeking any additional information? I'm hoping they will tell me that I am approved like they told you but I have a sick feeling that is not the case. Good luck with your operation.

Sorry that I'm respondin so late, I just happened to see your reply. Hopefully you've gotten your answer, but in case you havent, I'll still respond.

After speaking with my coordinator i received a call about 2 days from the insurance company. they called to verify who I was and confirm my surgery date and type of surgery I was having.
