I am approved ... Yeah!!! Quick question. I have First Priority Blue Cross Blue Shield and am wondering how long a typical hospital stay should be barring any complications.

Congrats!! I too just got approved.  My Dr. told me I'd be in the Hospital for 2- 3 days. Surgery on Wed and out on Friday. My Insurance approved for 4 days if needed. I have BC/BS also , but Anthem instead of First Priority. I got a letter of approval from the Ins telling me how many days I was approved for. Hopefully you will get the same...

Congratulations!! I just learned I was approved today!!

I don't have the same insurance, but my surgeon said most people stay 3 nights and that I would be staying 4 nights (barring complications) because I live about 2 hours away and am a revision.
