I just received a call from my dr. and I was approved through BCBS, but there is a second approval phase. There is a second approval for inpatient that takes 24-48 hrs for approval. Is anyone else familial with this, and has anyone been denied at this stage? My surgery date is the 17th.
I am not sure but in my case they wanted me to stay two nights but only approved 23 hours I believe. So each day the hospital had to let them know I needed to stay overnight and then it was paid for. They told me that is how it is done.
