BC/BS Alliance Select PPO

Did anyone have this ins?  How did the approval process go?  Any info will be appreciated since I'm too chicken to call them because I don't want to jinx anything.   

aSunset,

I have Wellmark but it's the Blue Access plan.  My paperwork was sent in on 7/18 and I called on 7/28 to see if they had received everything and needed anything else.  Well guess what, I was approved already!

I don't think you'll jinx anything by calling them.  If there is a hold up they may be able to tell you why and then you can work on providing whatever info they need.

Good luck to you, I'll know you'll hear soon!

OK.  Thanks GmaT.  Appreciate it.  I think I'm nervous about it because I have my first consult on the 14th, and this is the first time I've gone for something I chose to look into instead of what the doctor ordered.

I HAVE ALLIANCE SELECT CALL THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUEST A CASE MANAGER THEY WILL HELP YOU WORK THROUGH THE PROCESS  I WAS APPROVED IN 3 DAYS

Yes - I have BC BS Alliance Select.   Every employer plan within the is slightly different - but mine went smoothly and I was approved the first time.      You can find their requirements on their website, or call the customer service number on your card.

I wouldn't worry about calling them... I called to verbally get the requirements, then regularly to see if they had gotten the infomation - and then regularly to see if it had been processed yet.

Thank you very much, Jody.  I do appreciate your feed back. Guess I'll call them tomorrow.  Enjoy your day!

I have BC/BS Alliance Select through Wellmark.  They are terrific!  Very friendly andthey approved me on the first letter.  Good luck!

Thank you very much!

I also have BC/BS Alliance Select, I called like every 3 days after I knew that they got my paperwork, and it took them 2 weeks to get me my decision which unfortunatly was denied, they are really friendly people so I wouldn't worry about calling them. I'm working on my appeal now hopefully that will go better than the first time around "approval wise" Good Luck to you!!!

Thanks.  The dr moved my consult to Sept.  I did call bc/bs, she said there were requirements and she would send them to me as well as something for the dr to fill out and return.  I would also have to pay the deductible as well as another amt up to $2700.  The Dr's office stated the deductible will have to be paid up-front the week before surgery.
