animallover1247 249 Posted November 26, 2015 How long did it take to get your approval? My surgeons office said it takes 2 weeks for BCBS. I THINK that might be a bit exaggerated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladee2279 29 Posted November 27, 2015 Thanks. Aetna has a 15 day window, but it only took Aetna 4 business days to approve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
animallover1247 249 Posted November 27, 2015 Its Highmark BCBS through my employment. Its not federal. Did the surgons office call and tell you about the approval or does the insurance notify you?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
