Awaiting BCBS approval in Fayetteville

Hi,

I am waiting for approval and hope it comes fast because I want to get banded in early August.

Would love to chat with others in town getting ready to get banded or who have already had the surgery.

Re: Awaiting BCBS approval in Fayetteville

How long did the whole approval process take you? How long between your initial consultation with the surgeon to the actual surgery?

Re: Awaiting BCBS approval in Fayetteville

From the time everything was submitted to insurance to approval it took two weeks.

It took 2 months to get all the testing done that had to be submitted to insurance. It probably could have been faster but I have a very busy work schedule and had to schedule around that.
