tiffanyjo 12 Posted October 19, 2016 Update...called fed bcbs and no answer on approval yet. It has only by 1 week . Surgeons office said normally takes a week to week and a half. Bcbs pre cert. Spokesman told me normally 15 days so they can review so I probably won't hear anything till the 27th of October. ????????????my surgery date is November 3rd. I know a couple of you said you got your approval right before your surgery date and others got theirs in a week. Wondering why some are approved quicker than others. Again my bmi is over 40 (42 to be EXACT ) I have sleep apnea, arthritis, rls, all pre-certification was complete. Ugh, trying to remain positive and calm but freaking out on the inside Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App Update...called fed bcbs and no answer on approval yet. It has only by 1 week .
