I believe the Surgeon's fax in the info and BC BC Ma responds within 48 hours. I was a pest--and I kept calling to see if the paperwork was submitted or not. YOu can call the 800 # on the card. Good Luck--I'm sure it will go through just fine. Joan f.

I had BCBS Master Health Plus when I had my surgery. I had an answer within a week, my date and informed of the approval by phone by the surgeon's office a couple of days before I got the letter. BCBS customer service is great and can let you know where things stand with the paperwork, when it expected to be reviewed etc. Good luck! Luann Lap RNY 9/14/04

Hi Polly, It took me 3 1/2 weeks to get approval. I didn't contact the insurance company at all, I left that up to the Dr.'s office. Good luck~ Lynn

Hi Polly, I have Fed BCBS and live in Mass. I let my surgeons office handle all the insurance paperwork and received approval in about 10 days. BCBS did a wonderful job paying for everything. I met with a representative here after my surgery to let them know just how wonderful this surgery has been for my life and health. I think everyone should contact their insurance companies and let them know that without this surgery their lives would continue on the same path of obesity and severe co-moribidities. I am one happy women Moncia 12/06/04 333/0268/???
