I have BCBS of AL and was approved less than two weeks after they received my paperwork. BCBS told me that I could call every day to check the status and I did! Don't know whether or not it actually helped them decide, but it did help me get an earlier surgery date. I was able to schedule my surgery weeks earlier because I called the surgeons office with the good news long before they actually received the approval in writing.

I have BCBS of Alabama and I was approved two day after they received it. They have been very good about approving the surgery, but they may only approve you having the surgery in Alabama. This may not be the case at all, but I do know some people that had to comply with that.
