This "waiting" for insurance is killing me!!!

By geret14 on 03 Feb 2013

How long did it take everyone's insurance to approve? I have Blue Cross Blue Shield bone of their best options but man, I am so impatiently waiting. Maybe it's because it is now February and I CAN'T WAIT to actually play softball without boobs interfering with my game. Thanks everyone!!!

I hear you! My PS sent mine in last week. I was told they typically get a response from my insurance carrier in 3 weeks. My PS currently has a 2 to 3 month wait for surgery dates, and I'm very excited to schedule the surgery, so this waiting is not easy. Good luck, hopefully you'll hear good news soon!

i also have Blue Cross blue shield (Anthem) and the waiting game is killing me too. I keep constantly checking my phone to see if the doctor's office has called to tell me what the insurance company said. UGH!!! I'm so ready to have this surgery and say goodbye to all the neck and back pain!

My doctors office called me today, still nothing. They are going to call and put some pressure on them on Monday. I just hope they don't make them mad!!!

I am not going to call just yet because the lady told me she typically sees approvals in 2-3 weeks. She just sent it in on Monday. So hopefully they will approve it soon, I hope yours gets approved quickly too.
