dg371 50 Posted February 24, 2017 Whew! I have fedbcbs of NJ and I can't believe it but I was approved in 2 days from submittal! I called today to check up on it, (because I'm very impatient) and I was told that I'm approved and I made sure to get the authorization number. I'm scheduled for sleeve on March 6. Thanks to my surgeon's very diligent staff for guiding me through the many hoops that federal insurance makes you jump through! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flippista 67 Posted March 4, 2017 dg371,Not yet! I have called every other day but it's still in review. I do have a surgery day set but it would be nice to have the approval in hand! Hopefully I get the approval early next week! This is nerve-wracking for sure! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dg371 50 Posted March 4, 2017 Keeping my fingers crossed for you. So, guess what? Apparently when I called the ins. co last week, I didn't actually have an approval. I found that out yesterday during my last weigh-in and bootcamp before surgery! My approval didn't come through until just as I was about to call them to find out what was going on, while still in the drs office! Nearly gave me a heart attack when the Surgeons ins. specialist told me that! My surgery is set forthis coming Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
