I just hope that I have a big deductible

OK cause I know the new ins. Requires a 6 month diet. I plan to see my PCP under the old insurance. Also the new insurance says that it just requires pre authorization

Also did you have a copay for the surgeon's office?

I have BCBS of Louisiana which doesn't cover the sleeve and in six months our company is switching to BCBS of WNY which covers the sleeve!!! My question is..Should I wait til the six months are up to see the nutritionist and psych or do it now under the old insurance. Did you have a deductible to meet before getting your surgery?

Who is your doctor? Surgeon?

I am in New Orleans as well. Any advice would be appreciated.

Do you know if you will have a deductible with bcbs of wny if so how much?

I was told by the insurance company that I have to go to PCP for 6 months for weight management. Any advice on what to do? Not to do..or what to ask?

Congrats thats my daughters bday! Good luck to u..can't wait till my turn!

Im in Louisiana but my insurance is BCBS of WNY. I guess it really.does depend on the plan I have.

Thanks Edi. I just off the phone with insurance and was told that I had to do 6 months with the PCP and also psyc eval and nutrition visit. I guess it varies.

Did you have BCBS?

Does WW online count as the 6 month supervised diet required by the insurance company or do you physically have to go to the meetings? Please share you experiences..thanks! Also what type of ins. Do you have?

Good Morning! I am new to BCBS process of approval. Please share your approval stories and.how long it took? Did you have to do 6 months diet?
