BCBS of AZ approval time table

Does anyone have Blue Cross Blue Shield of AZ?  And if so, how long was your wait on approval of the surgery?  I'm going nuts!

Some BC/BS doesn't give approval in writing (mine in Michigan didn't).  I found out after waiting 2 months for their approval that they don't give written approval BUT if you meet their standards, the surgery can go forward.  Check with them and also check with your doctor's office.  They should be able to tell you where you stand.

I don't think mine was any longer than about a week or two at the most.  You also can call them, I did, and they told me when the decision would be made.  As long as your surgeon's office sends them everything they require, it should go fast.

My appoval time was less than a month, but more than two weeks.  I actually expected a denial first and they approved it first request out. 

My approval came one week after my initial consultation.
