Bedwards32 98 Posted December 26, 2015 Typically how long after everything is submitted to insurance by the surgeons office are you approved? All they are waiting on is my sleep clearance letter, clearance letter from my family physician. My last dr appointment will be the week of February 15 so this will complete my 7 months weight monitoring required by insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrsmissa93 13 Posted January 6, 2016 Hey there. I also have empire BCBS. I noticed you said that you had to do seven months of weigh in. How come not six? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bedwards32 98 Posted January 8, 2016 I can't remember exactly, but I believe it just depends on your plan. Some only have to do 3 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bedwards32 98 Posted February 15, 2016 Finally I have my last appointment today and then everything can be submitted to insurance ???? it's been a long 7 months, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope insurance gives an answer quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
