BCBS TEXAS - Check on Approval Status

[iwant2becurvynotlumpy 1]

I've read here that people have found out the were approved for surgery before they got their letter in the mail. How do you find out? Mine was sent off November 3rd so it's only been a couple days. I'm in a time crunch to get it done before the end of the year because I'm switching insurance and new insurance doesn't cover WLS.

I went to bcbstx.com, created an account, and found out that way. I was anxious and checked every day!

When was your info sent in? I don't want to be too pushy. It's taken all I have to restrain myself from calling!

Hmm, don't exactly recall. I would look but I no longer have BCBSTX. It seems to me I either emailed or put in a support request on how to find out, they responded, and I took it from there. Is there a section regarding documents or something?

I called my insurance company and they were able to tell me they had not got my paper work yet. The lady was so nice and told me they have to tell you give it 30 days, but she said it really only takes about 7 days. So give them a call, they are really nice. At least BCBS of Al is.

Okay I just called! ???? it got to them yesterday on the 4th not the 3rd like my caseworker said (may have been late in the day when she sent it) so it hasn't been sent to review yet. ???? I asked her how long it usually takes and she said 7-10 business days. I've seen so many people on here say it only took like 3 days! I guess I will give it til Wed and check again.

Have you gotten your approval or are you still waiting?
