I have BCBS FEDERAL and had surgery March 2017. Once the surgeon submitted all the hoops I jumped through, it took about 2 weeks, if that. They did have me go through the 3 month pre op diet, but that was OK.
I have Ford blue care network, they came back with a yes 5 days after it was submitted. Congratulations on the approval!!
Congrats on the approval. I am assuming that they were pretty sure that you would be approved so they scheduled it. I know that they do know the requirements and usually only have any issues if they forget to submit something. Glad it all worked out.
Update... I am APPROVED!!!!!!
I agree... I thought it was odd they went ahead and scheduled it before submission and approval but they seemed very confident I would get it in time.
Really? You have scheduled your surgery prior to the approval? Risky... O well, you still have two more days... Good luck!
I've never heard of scheduling surgery before insurance approval!
