Insurance Request Being Submitted!

[Namaste6 82]

I got the call today from the hospital program I am working with that I was cleared by the nutritionist, psychologist, and fitness instructor. So they are putting in the request forms for insurance approval!

I just can't stand 10-15 business day wait!!!

Fingers crossed for approval!

Waiting is the hard part! I'm currently waiting and I wish it would be acceptable to call them everyday, haha. ???? But nonetheless, it's still exciting to know our surgeries are right around the corner.

Oh, I am sure they know my voice by heart. I have called with questions or concerns a good number of times over the last few weeks. I am just excited that the ball is rolling!

You are getting yours done in October!!! Wow! That IS right around the corner, lucky!

I believe I'm going to be an October surgery, but won't get the date until approval goes through. If not, definitely November!

I have BCBS AL , my BMI is 41.8 , and I have severe sleep Apnea. I have completed my 6 months and all the other doctors visits, along w/ my PCP letter . They submitted my paper work last Thursday. I'm really nervous they wont accept it and all this time and money is at a loss Anyone else out there have BCBS Al and the wait time for approval or denial?

I was approved in 3 business days by Anthem BCBS in CA. I finally received my surgery date, 12/08/15, so I'm in my 9 week wait.

Not too far away!! I tell you, it comes in a snap! I am exactly 3 weeks away, and yesterday it felt like it was forever!

I am currently waiting as well it is so hard. I think I've called Aetna every single day.

I'm waiting too. I have United Health Care and have been calling daily for status updates. I can't help myself. The waiting 2-15 days is horribly hard.

I'm waiting too. It's been 15 (calendar) days since my surgery center submitted for insurance approval. I have UHC and that will not be covering my clinic next year. I weigh 247 (down from 256) and am 5'5". I checked today and UHC confirms they received the request but hadn't processed it yet. I keep having doubts like "you should be able to lose this weight without surgery" but I have tried for so many years (and sometimes succeeded temporarily) that I know without drastic change I will just keep returning to my old behaviors. It's been over 10 years since I've been under 200 lbs, and it's taking a huge toll on my low back and knees. I'm so ready to move without being in pain!
