2goldengirl 2,076 Posted October 22, 2015 I also answered your other post. If you have Medi-Cal in Los Angeles County, it would be from Blue Cross, as Blue Shield doesn't offer Medi-Cal plans. Once your packet is submitted to your health plan, provided all necessary information is included, the plan has five business days to make a decision. In the event more time is necessary in order to obtain additional information, that timeframe can be extended up to 14 days. Here is a link to Blue Shield's policy: https://www.anthem.com/medicalpolicies/policies/mp_pw_a053317.htm I hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
