My surgeon submitted for approval on Jan 24th. I called my case manager on Monday and my case hasn't even been reviewed yet. She told me to try again next Monday i am so stressed and my anxiety is high waiting for the approval. I don't see why i wouldn't get approved though,, bmi has been over 50 for well over 7 years.. sleep apnea, pre-diabetes, did 6 months of monitored weight loss with nutritionist, etc

I have UHC my case manager said it could take 10-15 business days my surgery isn't until March 5th anyway and this is why my surgeons office schedules this far out for these reasons. How long for anyone who filed recently through UHC did it take to get approved??

I have BCBS and so I'm not sure. Insurance is scary, your life in someone else's hands! It's a love hate.
