FloridaGal1976 77 Posted January 15, 2018 Hubby and I completed our 6-month medically supervised weight loss, and now we wait for insurance approval. I'm so anxious!How long did it take to get your approval? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted January 15, 2018 10 days:) And my group gave me a surgery date before the approval letter came. It was an insurance company they've worked with, so they went ahead and scheduled. (BCBS Michigan) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abefroman329 704 Posted January 15, 2018 I called after it had been a month and it had been approved. I called the surgeon to tell them I’d completed all the necessary steps before I went om vacation, so I wasn’t staring at the phone waiting for it to ring or anything. Remember that your surgeon may not submit the request for pre-approval the day you call them and tell them you’ve done everything, there may be some lag time there. .

Losebig 508 Posted January 15, 2018 Depends on your insurance, in my case it was pretty much immediate, maybe a day or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
