Did it take for BCBS of North Carolina to get back with you on there decision? Dr. Joseph Moran's New Patients, what do you think about the coordinator?

Once summitted by Duke. I found out the same day. It took me about 6 hours once BCBSNC had the request. Good luck. Ken

My surgeon's office was a Center of Excellence so they told me it was almost instant with BCBC. I found out everything went through the day I met with the surgeon and I scheduled my surgery... I know it is pretty quick with BCBS of NC, but I think it depends on the surgeon's office also. Good luck!!!

I have the same insurance. My request was submitted on a Thursday and was approved the next day, on Friday. I was shocked!!! I'm wondering if most everything had already been submitted, and when they received my cardio work up that was the last bit needed. Good luck! Brenda

Dr. Moran was my surgeon. I was approved in 2 days. Who is your coordinator at Dr. Moran's office? I worked with Anne a lot prior to surgery and now most of my interaction is with Janelle. Christy
