Singlemama 21 Posted May 5, 2012 So I got approved from United Healthcare at the end of April, now I'm waiting on BCBS TX. The office sent in all my paperwork to BCBS on 5/3/12. Anyone have experience with BCBS TX and how long it usually takes? I'll get to schedule my surgery as soon as we get an answer! I'm waiting {notso} patiently.

Giselle3264 175 Posted May 5, 2012 WOW! I don't anything about BCBSTX but I'm impressed with your speed for UHC. My consult with Dr. Kim was 4/20 and the office is still waiting for my records to come in from my primary care physicians. Did you bring your records with you? I hope BCBSTX doesn't take any longer for you than UHC did. G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Singlemama 21 Posted May 5, 2012 I didn't bring them with me, I signed the papers for them to receive them at my first visit on the 13th. I was so surprised when I got it in the mail the other day. I know even if BCBS doesn't approve me, I'll still be covered by UHC and have the surgery. But it would be nice to have both working for me. Good luck with yours!!! Hopefully it goes through soon!

marisa.rose 6 Posted May 5, 2012 BCBS NC is really quick...approved in 2 days. I don't know much about insurance so I'm not sure if that helps at all. Hope your approval happens quickly!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marisa.rose 6 Posted May 6, 2012 It wasn't a pain like I thought it would be. I did all the required work-up stuff (blood work, physical, ect..) and they approved it in 2 days with no questions asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

irishmama2004 34 Posted May 14, 2012 I heard that day. They have an online submission process that is quick. If I had needed to fight them on something like if I was missing a year with weight record and needed to submit a picture it would have taken two weeks.

Hi, I had my labs and turned in and signed all my paperwork on 3/23and 2 weeks later I called the office, they said I never signed any paperwork..4/17 I recalled office n they still i had not turned in my paperwork, I refaxed it to them and called the lab to get them to fax my results to drs office. They said they faxed it twice... , 5/7 I recalled the office and they said they turned in the paper work the previous Friday...well I took it a step further n called BCBS. They said paperwork was not turned in till 5/7monday.. Before the week was up I was approved... My suggestion to allll. Keep copies and records of times n dates and who ur speak to..stay on top of them cause they will Dottle...call the office n stay on top go things.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mommy794 119 Posted May 14, 2012 I have BCBS as my primary and secondary ins When I had gotten approved by my primary I had no idea my 2nd would cover anything. Then I decided to submit ot and they did! So both covered me and the wait on the BCBS TX was only about 2-3 weeks. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
