The Waiting Game: AmeriHealth NJ

[PhickDiva 0]

I just spoke with my caseworker at the surgeon's office, and my documentation is definitely getting submitted to my insurance today. She was actually working on it when I called. For those of you with AMERIHEALTH as your insurance provider, how long was the wait {days/weeks} to get your approval?

I didn't have them (BCBSNJ) as my provider, but I do remember the coordinator at my surgeon's office tell me they have a maximum of 30 days to review each case and make a decision, but most cases come back within 7-10 business days. She also told me they're really big on approvals right now so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!
