Blue Cross Blue Shield Highmark

[cmbd 17]

I've completed my 6 of 6 pcp appointments as well as the psych and nutritionist appointments. My paperwork was submitted to Blue Cross Blue Shield Highmark yesterday. Does anyone know how long it takes to find out if I'm approved?

I have BCBS of IL....it took 2 days for my approval but I called them. I've worked for insurance companies for over 15 years so I know you gotta stay on top of it. Good luck!

[cmbd 17]

Thanks. If I haven't heard by Tuesday, I'll call them.

I have BCBS Highmark as well. I have my first appt August 3 so Im not sure how that goes. Have you run into any issues with Highmark? What all did they require? You did have to do the 6 months of diets with the Dr?

My requirements were: 6 consecutive pcp visits, nutritionist appt, and psych evaluation. I've not had any issues so far. I'm hoping and praying it gets approved quickly.
