Bcbs Of Texas Anyone?

Hey y'all!

I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Texas and I was hoping to hear from some folks who've also dealt with them.

I've gone through the evals (including psych) and my surgeon's office submitted a request for authorization to BCBS last Thursday. I'm told it'll take "up to two weeks or more"...I love how they don't want to commit to anything even remotely general.

What was everyone else's experience with BCBS of Texas? A full two weeks? Over that? Less than that?

I realize there are different levels of coverage, I'm just hoping to get a better idea of what to expect. I'm hoping it's not 2 weeks or more...trying to have surgery by the week before Christmas.

I have Empire BCBS and my file was also submitted last Thursday or so they said. I called my insurance company and they don't show anything so I have no idea. They also told me I should know something within 2 weeks. LOL! Sounds like we are in the same boat. The wait is awful!

I don't like this boat, tigermom12...I'm ready to get into the "You have a surgery date" boat! LOL
