Anyone here just waiting for approval?

[ANewMe2017 10]

Mine only took a week. I have BCBS La. That was only because Martin Luther kings bday was that Monday and they was closed. I received a letter in the mail actually from BCBS
Stating I was approved, before anyone called and told me anything. I didn't have to meet any requirements, so I'm all set up. Waiting is the hardest, just keep praying and if it's Gods Will. You got this!!!

Does the approval letter come after most of your appointments? I had my initial nut appointment and appointment with the surgeon already.

I'm anxiously waiting i have seen a lot of BCBS insurance here so I'm hopeful it'll be speedy that's what i have.

I finally got approved. Basically, whoever had my case let the refaxed paperwork sit there for almost 2 weeks. But whatever I am approved! Now I am just waiting on my surgery date ?

I started my process in Dec also, I just got my approval on Thursday! Hang in there, you'll have that approval very soon!

I'm waiting for my paperwork to be submitted. Surgeon's office is scheduled to submit on Feb 28th, a full 180 days from when I started my required 6 month supervised program. I have Anthem BCBS of CA. I'm really hoping the approval process is quick! Hoping to be scheduled for surgery at the end of March.

I'm so anxious I can't stand it. My nerves :-(

My paper work was submitted on Feb 28th and I was approved on March 2nd. Only took 2 days. Extremely quick and I was extremely shocked. Surgery scheduled for March 30th.

Lucky!

Mine was "submitted" on 28 February too. But, my insurance says they haven't received anything and the surgeon's office says the faxed it--not sure who is incompetent, maybe both.

Hi, My insurance is Oxford UHC, I just had my last nutritionist appt, everything is done, waiting for approval.

I was told anywhere from two to five weeks.

I go for my final of my 6 months of appts on Monday. Anxiously awaiting to see how long it will take to get it sent to insurance and approved.

My journey started in December 2016. At my last apt Dr she said that they will be getting paperwork ready to be sent out next week ! They also are planning on an April surgery if things go to plan with Excellus BlueCross !! I was planning for June July but I guess sooner the better . I'm Happy , scared, excited and ready . I know I will have crazy anxiety weeks prior to surgery but I need this tool .

It took them forever to approve me but I think it was mostly the Doctor's fault. I initially went to Kennedy, went though everything.... When I found out 1 month after they submitted my info that Kennedy wasn't a Blue distinction center... which meant I had to go to a different hospital. Kennedy ended up transferring all my info to Virtua and it took a good month from there before I got the approval. Surgery date is 04/11. I started this whole process in the beginning of October. Once everything is said and done, the whole process will take 6 months. Not that bad, considering some people have to wait longer.. Trust me when I say the time goes by sooo fast. This is a lifestyle change that will last your LIFETIME so there is no need to rush into it

Good luck with surgery. I was finally approved for 10 April. Ten and a half days of pre-op diet to go!

I have BCBS Federal. It took less than a day for approval. I was shocked. I am waiting now to select my surgery date.

I have BC/BS Federal, also, and am working through my checklist of required steps before approval. Did you have to do a sleep study?

I got my approval in a week with BCBS.
