Hello everyone,

I am 1/2 excited! I have now officially been accepted into Unversity of Chicago Medical Center...Dr. Alverdy will be my surgeron.

On yesterday, they told me that would be submitting to insurance for approval.

My insurance is BCBSIL. I am praying that will approve right away.

Does anyone know what the approval or denial time usual takes with BCBSIL?

Thats Great! There is no time line for approval. But, if you don't hear anything in a week or 2, call the insurance co. directly and see what the problem is.

Sounds good!

I just called them for my OFFICIAL LETTER! BCBSIL has already paid for my consultation. My out of pocket is $3.60

Did you have problems with getting the evaluation day covered by BCBSIL?  Do they give you codes in the info session so you can find out if the insurance will pay for the evaluation?

I didnt have evaluation codes.

I just checked with BCBS to see if the hoptial and Dr was in-network..and they were.

Congratulations!  You have a good start!

I think, by law, insurance companies have to reply within 30 of receiveing the request.

If you have completed ALL requirements, you should be good.  I agree with Lisa---call them if you have heard nothing within a couple of weeks.

 

Tell someone that you love them!

Congrats on your progress. Every step will get you closer to a new life!

It's an exciting time for you.

I was a self pay so I can't help with the insurance question.
