Anthem blue cross of california

Does anyone else have this insurance? just wondering how long it takes to get aproval with them

I have Anthem BC/BS of California. They are awesome. Approved my surgery in less than 24 hours after the surgeon's office submitted it. My company was sold in December and we switched from Cigna. I had been 8 months in the process with Cigna. Switching to BC/BS was a blessing in disguise. I was banded on 3/4.

I just got approved was submitted at 9am and approved by 12pm that day. So excited to get my surgery date!

My experience was similar. It took me by surprise how quickly I was approved.

I have Anthem Blue Cross as well, I live in Southern California.

Monday is my first appointment with my primary physician to see if he will write a referral letter for me in order to have the approval process started.

What steps did you have to go through before submitting your information to the insurance company?

I am scared that they are going to deny me since they said that it would have to be reviewed by the board.

Any information will be greatly appreciated! THANKS!
