Fingers crossed you hear soon! Yeah BCBS customer reps always send her messages to call me( I call everyday, lol) she called Wed but I was at work. She left a message to call her but every time I do says she’s not available and I leave voicemails, but no return call yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peachmedly46 8 Posted January 16, 2021 My coordinator sent my info in too early according to BCBS they literally waited 2 wks before surgery to approve my surgery. They said because it was sent in so early they were handling the claims closer to surgery dates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peachmedly46 8 Posted January 16, 2021 The coordinator submitted it Nov. 20, 2020, surgery day was Dec. 7 and they approved me Dec. 2, 2020 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
