Playing the waiting game!

I am waiting for my insurance to say yes or no lol and I am very impatient does anyone have anthem healthkeepers plus if so how long did it take for you to get approved...

I am playing the same game! I have Anthem Blue Cross PPO and it has been a week and a half. I think the Insurance Coordinator is about sick and tired of me Good Grief how long does it take? She told me that if she didn't hear by the end of the day yesterday, she would call first thing this morning. BUT.... I have not heard a word from her yet. This is killing me.

I don't but I remember waiting and calling in for updates. It was very stressful. But now I'm 6 months post op and it feels like everything happened so fast.

I had to wait a month and only got an answer after I called daily for a week. Turned out the problem was their computer system that said my plan didn't cover bariatric - even though I supplied them with the written documentation that it did! Now 3+ months post surgery I am having major problems getting them to pay the correct amount to the providers! Insurance is a HUGE pain in the rear!

About a week, but from day five onward I called EVERY day. I figured they'd get tired of me calling and move me up the pile lol

_{it took me a week to get the approval from my insurance. My first appt with the doc was 8-24-13 and my surgery is 9-25-13!! THank God things went really fast for me. Dr. CUnningham's office is great}

Congrats on your current weight loss. I was lucky enough that my insurance didn't require a diet before surgery lol.

You lost 80 Lbs already?? how??

[1SuperBonBon 221]

Okay... I couldn't take it anymore so I called the insurance company myself just now. Good News!!!! They told me that my surgery was approved late yesterday afternoon, but they have probably not notified my doctor's office yet. I just emailed the surgery coordinator to let her know what I have found out (I am sure she is sooooo annoyed with me),

This just became very REAL!!!!
