I just finished up my 6 month diet for BCBS of MN and PNC submitted to insurance yesterday. How long does it take for them to come back with an answer?
After that, how long it is typical before surgery?
I had Medica at the time of my surgery, so I'm not sure this will apply to you, but from the day they submitted to the day I got my approval was about 10 days. And from that point to surgery? About 5 more weeks.
Here's hoping and that your approval comes quickly!!
If it was submitted to insurance - you could call and check the "status" with BCBS maybe by next monday - usually they make the decisions pretty quickly.
As far as surgery - it really depends on how far your surgeon is booked out.
