fast approval

Well, I am shocked.  I asked Dr. Kole's office to submit my paperwork to Messa BCBS Supercare 1 last week , even though I was still waiting for paperwork to document a medical supervised diet.  The paperwork was faxed on last Friday the 13th.  i call on Monday to see if it was received.  I talked to a very pleasant woman who told me to call back at the end of the week because it wouldn't show up at all for a couple days because it had to be scanned into a document first.  She told me if I call back she would try to hurry it through for me.  She said she might be able to get it to someone who could turn it around in 2-3 weeks instead of the 45 day which I expected based on the dr. office.  Well, I call to check to make sure it wasreceived today Friday the 20th.   i had stupidly forgot to write down the nice lady whom I had talk to before but I was in luck anyway.en   The wonderful woman i spoke to told me that my paperwork had been scanned that very day, not even a hour before.  Mind you, I was excited about that.  I thanked her and asked what are the chances of me getting an answer in 2 weeks.  she said that she was a preapproval reviewer and she would take a look at it.  I thanked her again and asked  asked her what does it mean?  what the next set to get surgery approval.  She laughed and said that it.  You are approved.  She told me I would have a letter in less than a week because she was sending it out as we speak.  I asked her for her name.  Jacquie Wallick.  the fastest approver in the Northwest.  Wow, I can't believe it, I only have had this insurance for 2 months.  my union found tooth and nail to keep it in this year contract neg.  I am glad they did.

Congratulations on your approval!! My insurance company also received my papers on the 13th and told me to call back on Friday afternoon, the 20th. Before I could call them, I received the letter of approval in the mail Friday morning!!  Now, to get the pre-op appointment and schedule a surgery date!!
