Insurance

Submitted to insurance for the second time today. The first time insurance said they wanted 6 months of pcp visits. So I done that has anyone else had to resubmit and if you have how long did it take the insurance to approve? Thanks in advance.

I'm almost afraid to say my answer, as I don't want to discourage anyone. I had the same thing happen to me, and I got my approval via my surgeon's office about 15 minutes after resubmission. Insurance companies vary widely, plus I had a fantastic advocate in my surgeon's office manager- I couldn't believe how fast she called me back! I wish there was a standard answer to this question as lots of folks ask it, but like many facets of this process, there's no concrete answer.

My insurance also asked for additional information but once they got it they approved me within a day! Good luck to you.

Called insurance today and they said not showing where my paper work was faxed in but my doctors office has confirmation. Does anyone know how long it takes to show it was faxed in? They faxed it in Monday the 12/01/2014

Teresa every insurance is different. What one company jumps on right away the next does not

Depends on how big they are, how well staffed

Many of them were closed last Friday and certainly last Thursday. They still have doctors offices who fax in on Friday and Saturday. So they work those first.

Chill. Give it a couple days. Call on Friday. If they don't have t by then- Call your surgeon and have them send it again.

Who is your carrier?

My insurance is BCBS of Minnessota . I am going to try to do good and not call till at least Friday I don't want to make anyone mad.

Bcbs without a doubt closed Friday after turkey day.

I would give it until tomorrow and call again
