Waiting on insurance approval!

[Yvette804 43]

So, do anyone know how long Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois will take to complete the pre-approval process? It was submitted on 12/6/16, I checked on Friday and it's still in processing.

When I called they said it has been approved and that I should receive the letter in 7 to 10 business days. They said I can go ahead and schedule my surgery without the approval letter because the doctors office can just call and verify the approval. I immediately called and spoke to the surgical coordinator and she gave me a date. My surgery was on December 8th
