BCBS Fep WAITING! How long does this take?

[bong 0]

I am seriously not a patient person. I want my answer yesterday, ya' hear me?? I have BCBS Federal, and I've been reading that they are pretty quick about their decisions. Soooooo, I have been doing what I do best, and calling these poor people everyday since I completed my required visits on Monday (5/18). Tuesday (5/19), BCBS still hadn't received my package from the surgeon's office, so you guessed it, I emailed my patient advocate there. I know I'm super annoying to these people, but my surgeon is going outta town the second weekend of June and not coming back till the end of June, and I want to do this BEFORE he goes. I am crawling outta my skin waiting. I called BCBS a few hours ago, and they told me that part of the package has been approved, but the other part was still being processed??? WHAT does that even mean. So, I of course asked the guy what the heck that all meant, and he said it didn't tell him what was approved and what hasn't been approved yet. UGH. ANYONE else recently used BCBS Fep? And how long did it take??? ACK!! I hate waiting!!!

I am not sure exactly what day the p/w was submitted but from last required class on Friday with NUT - figuring a day or two to complete and submit - I would say about 10 days. I received my approval letter 2 weeks to the day of that final class.
