Brighteyes 237 Posted September 19, 2013 I have the same insurance. From what I have heard from other people with our plan they normally get approved within two or three days of the paperwork being submitted. My paperwork is going forward on the 1st of Oct. Please update and let me know how long your approval process takes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aafe71 20 Posted September 23, 2013 This wait is killing me, I called bcbs and they said they are still working on it and see if there is a real necessity for the operation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1gorgeousgodzilla 192 Posted September 23, 2013 I am BCBS federal basic and it took me about 6-7 days to hear something . I think I called every day from day 5 onward. They will tell you, even if they haven't had a chance to notify the doctor yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
