kblanc 53 Posted December 20, 2016 I didn't have to wait that long maybe 3 weeks. Your surgeons office should know by now. I had to do a couple requirements first though Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App I have BCBS AL and the first time my papers were submitted it took exactly 30 days and I was denied. The second time my papers were submitted I was approved in a week. Ultimately they have 30 days to review in Alabama.
