Question:
How long?

Does anyone have Highmark bc/bs PPO from Western PA? How long did it take after it was submitted? Does it take less time to deny than to approve? Just getting anxious! Any info would be great! Thanks    — jennifer S. (posted on May 14, 2004)

Hi Jennifer. I have that insurance although my coverage could be different from yours if we have different employers. At any rate, it took about 8-9 weeks for my approval but I think it took so long because my paperwork was submitted just before Thanksgiving and nothing seemed to get done over the entire holiday season. They told me it would take at least a month because so many people are applying for approval. They were really nice every time I called them to ask the status of my request. Good luck!
