I have bcbsnc blue options and was wondering how long the approval process takes? My paperwork was turned into the ins. company on Tuesday 7/21. When should I expect to hear something or should I call?
I have BCBSNC but Blue Advantage (insure myself). Has anyone had any experience with this. I have heard that the blue options is very easy to work with though.
My wife and I both had WLS and BCBSNC. About a week for her and about 5 days for me. Not to get you too excited, but...I've never heard of anyone going thru the motions at the surgeon's office and then get turned down by BCBSNC.
I was approved the same day it was submitted! My hospital is a Center Of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery. Apparently that makes a difference.
Good luck!
