shon74 119 Posted February 3, 2017 I'm sure it's just nerves, and i was told with BCBS it takes longer than most other insurance companies, but I'm going nucking futs. Had my initial dr appt in Dec, nut appt Jan 10th, and psych eval Jan 16th.... trying to wait patiently.... i estimated the max of 6 wks being Feb 27th.... 4 wks being Feb 13th. I called BCBS yesterday, and they said my status is still pending.... anybody in this boat with me? Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App oh wow sorry to hear this news, I was just abt to ask how long does it take bcbs to approve Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ursusmaritimus 18 Posted February 6, 2017 I have BCBS Federal. It took less than a day for approval. I was shocked. I am waiting now to select my surgery date. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App As a BCBS FED subscriber, that's gives me hope! I had my first appointment 28 November. I was told by the surgeon's office they'll submit everything on 28 February according to insurance time line requirements. I've never been patient, but this is particularly awful.
