KhadijahRose 66 Posted March 8, 2013 So BCBS of Il approved me after only 24 hours! Soooo, why don't I have a date you ask?..well it's because I only know because I called the company today, they said they sent out an approval letter to me and my surgeons office. I left a message with them so I'm hoping for a date tomorrow..aaah the waiting game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

holbol465 1 Posted March 11, 2013 I also have BCBS IL and was approved in 24 hours !! Now I'm just waiting for the scheduling Coordinator to call me for my date of surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KhadijahRose 66 Posted March 12, 2013 You know I actually called her, because BCBS told me they'd sent out a letter to me and the office and of course neither of us had received it (that was a week after they had already approved me!) so I called and told them that the insurance company said they'd approved me and my coordinator confirmed that same day, called me back with a date the next day and my last appointments. I wanted so badly to get in this March and my office is so great they were actually able to make it happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
