Another step closer
Well I found out today I have all my clearances. I have one more nutritionist appointment on Oct 15th and then an Appointment with the Surgeon on the 16th .. It is then that he will be scheduling the surgery!!!
At what point do you find out if you got Insurance Approval. I know they already check to see if it is covered....When do I find out if I am approved??
Your surgeon's office will probably submit your paperwork to your insurer right after you see the surgeon. Hopefully, you'll hear within a week. My insurer, however, took 14 business days before issuing their approval. It varies - feel free to call your insurer after they have the papers for a week. Their used to getting calls!!
Good luck!
I have BCBS and they told me once all my tests were done it can take up to 15 days to be approved. She also said though that she has never seen it take that long, usually just a couple days. I'm one of those people that HAS to know though. So I would call them and ask 3 or 4 times a week. I know over kill but, I drive myself crazy if I don't. She also said they would send a letter to me and to the doctor stating I was approved.
Hope that helps. Every insurance is different.
