The Wait!

I completed all of the requirements (6 months) last Thursday.  They submitted Friday, Monday it was processed, and now it is pending.  

When I had my last appointment with my surgeon the nurse said that Jan. was a slow month and we might hear something back within a week.  I called back and spoke to the insurance lady last week and she said 2-3 weeks.  Today I called BCBS and the lady stated up to 30-45 days.

How long did it take for you insurance to approve/deny?

Praying for approval!!!

24 hours ...  They give those long wait times to cover themselves!

LOL... I forgot to add that my policy states no more than 15 days.  

48 hours but I kept calling and they told me that it was approved and that I would receive a letter in the mail. 

You said "kept calling" like multiple times a day?  I thought maybe I would call again Friday.  Maybe not...lol

Mine was less than 24 hours. I also have BCBS. I'm sure it won't be nearly the 30-45 days! 

I also have BCBS, and I was told the 30-45 day wait, but I got a call from my doctor's office about a week later.  This was back in September, when they're busier than now.  I bet you'll hear back in no time.

I was approved today!  2 days

Mine was submitted Monday or yesterday...United Healthcare says the decision is made within 15 calendar days, not business days. My surgeon's coordinator expects surgery in two to three weeks. Yikes!

I have Highmark BCBS and my policy says 15 days my doctors office insurance staff says they usually get an answer within 2 weeks. I have my #6/6 appt. on 2/9 and then mine gets submitted. The PA today told me she thinks we can get it all done and everything I have to do so I can have my Surgery on 3/10. I pray my insurance come thru quickly and don't deny me.
