Everything Was Submitted!!!
I'd suggest calling BCBS in a few days to check that they received the paperwork. My surgery was approved in just a few days, but the approval letter took weeks. In fact, I didn't get the letter until after surgery! So when you call, you can ask how long it will take to approve it, and perhaps it will be approved already.
Congratulations and best of luck on your weight loss journey.

Thank you so much!! Yes I verified BCBS had the paperwork before I even called the office to check. LOL The rep told me 3-5 business days. The coordinator at the clinic told me 14-30 days for an approval. She said BCBS takes a long time to send an approval letter. I am wondering if it is approved if they can fax it to me.
