Hi everyone. Learned today that Bcbs federal received my packet yesterday. 33 pages!! It's currently under review. Anyone have an idea how long it takes to get a decision? Gosh!! This is stressful!!

For me it was only two days!

[Elode 8,093]

Yay! I have BCBS Fed and it took about 8 days so don't get discouraged if it takes a little while!

[kimdlawson06 141]

Good luck hope you get approved fast

[kimdlawson06 141]

I hope so too! Hopefully I'll get good news this week!

[Wells8710 27]

Me too,I had my last appt on Wednesday. It will happen, I wish we didn't need to get prior authorization.

[kimdlawson06 141]

Yea, that sucks. My approval only took 6 days so hopefully you won't have to wait much longer. Keep me posted!

Mine took 2 days but it was State, not quite same but not sure. Hang in there!

I got approved 2 days ago. Mine only took 48hours. Congrats in your approval

I have BCBS through the state (not federal) and while there was a change of staff at my surgeon's office which caused a delay, my surgery was approved instantaneously over the phone. Most offices fax it in though, so you will have to wait a lot longer if that's the case. I specifically told my surgeon's office (after all the delays) that BCBS will approve me instantly over the phone if they wouldn't mind calling instead of faxing, luckily there was someone in the office who knew about that and she got it done.
