trying to be patient with insurance

[doingit4me 9]

It has been 9 days since my insurace got my paperwork. Approve me already! I have called twice, they say it is "pending". This is torture.

Remember, there is light at the end of the tunnel! You've jumped through all the hoops. Now you are finally at the end. Good luck!

Thanks, there were a lot of hoops! Just want to hear "you're approved".

I'm right there with you! It sure is aggravating--I am getting crabbier as the days go on.

How long have you waited to hear from insurance? My paperwork will go in on Thursday.

It only took my ins @ 7 business days. I have BCBS. You should get a letter from your ins company that says approved or not. I received my letter before my doctors office did. My surgery is scheduled for Feb. 27

Me too!!! My surgery is Tuesday, it was just sent in yesterday. If I don't get an approval by next Monday surgery will be pushed back. I've only been waiting for one day so far but this is annoying. What ins do u have?

Do you have Bcbs Anthem or another kind?

I started this journey in Aug of last year with BCBS of Pennsylvania. With them I had 6 month wait. Now since Jan1st I changed to BCBS of Texas and there is NO waiting period. So since I already meet all my requirements my dr office submitted my surgery and received an approval.

But from what I understand all BCBS ins changed as of Jan 1st and they have no more waiting periods as long as you meet the requirements
