Anybody Have Blue Shield ***?

[missmelymelissa 21]

Hi!

I'm waiting to hear back from my blue shield *** insurance about approval for my surgery. Does anybody have this insurance and if so, how long did it take to get approved after submitting all the paperwork?

I knew within 3 days about my denial. 4 days after the appeal I got my approval.

They are pretty straight forward if you meet all requirements!

Really? My surgeon told me it takes 7-10 days to know. It's been a week. I'm so anxious to be approved and know my date.

I kept myself busy! I would go nuts if I didn't.

[missmelymelissa 21]

I'm trying! I've been taking on extra at work because the wait game is so stressful.

[Ruffus 66]

I submitted for approval and was denied... I couldn't take the stress of not being approved so I didn't re submit for 2 months! I sewed a lot of stuff for my kids and cleaned ALOT!

My surgeon's office said it would take 2 weeks to a month. I was approved in less than a week.

That's good! I'm hoping to hear from my surgeon this week about an approval. So nervous but it will all work out.. It has to.

If you don't hear from your Dr's office, you should call them and ask them to check.

Nothing wrong with calling the insurance company and asking them. After the 1st week I was calling every day

Blue Cross, told me it takes that long, but my surgery was scheduled so the guy rushed mine and called me back the next day with approval. My Dr sent mine in as a medical necessary so Blue Cross would cover it.

@ carol, I actually have blue shield. I think they're a bit different.

Call the insurance company every day to check. You are paying for it, so put them to work.

[missmelymelissa 21]

True, I think I'll call them on Wednesday if I havent heard from them yet.

Have you heard anything yet?
