I just finished everything on Friday ! Im waiting for approval. They told me here in Kentucky they have 30 days to approval, Im hoping it doesnt take that long.

Mine goes to insurance on Tuesday. Hopefully. However, my dad also has BCBS and his was approved in 45 minutes. So you never know. Good luck!

They submitted all my papers on Thursday and told me it should take a week to receive any news I'll keep everyone posted if it happens like this.

I called the ins co on the 10th day but probably was approved on the 7th day because when I called they said my approval was already mailed. I recommend calling them on the 7th day if you have not heard anything yet.

I called mine before my seminar thank god, b/c they told me they don't cover it. ( i guess my policy)

I found out at my information seminar today that my BC/BS of Kansas doesn't cover any type of weight loss surgery. I'm so disappointed!

My information was submitted last Tuesday and I found out on Thursday that I was approved. Only 2 days! It was much quicker than I expected but I'm thrilled. Surgery date ... April 16th!!!!

me too, stupid bcbs. do u have carefirst???? I have to finance now and i found a doc that does it in the US for 8000 pm me for info

Yep same as DNLMom my surgeon's office submitted my stuff around 4:00pm on Friday afternoon and mine was approved the following Tuesday around noon. BCBSIL has a super quick turnover time right now so (probably better because they lifted the SWL requirement for IL, TX, and a couple others...) so regardless of what your surgeons office tells you I would call after a few days. Wishing you a speedy approval!!!
