Band Mom 3

Called BCBS and found out that I have been denied a 2nd time. It is strange because I followed the insurance company's written requirements. I qualify based on my BMI alone, but also have co-morbidities. Now I have to wait for the written denial so that my surgeon can schedule a peer to peer review. I can't help but to feel incredibly discouraged...

I have read on here dozens of times about the need for Miralax. Just a thought-it seems like one of those things I'd rather have and not need than not have it and need it...

I found out my insurance denied the preauthorization about a month ago. I have been tracking down notes from every doctor I have seen for the past 10+ years and finally delivered it all to my surgeon's office this afternoon. The scheduler faxed 98 pages to my insurance company...now to wait for some good news! Please, if you are so inclined, say a little prayer for me. I am so ready to do this.

I found out that I was denied today. . Not happy right now!

Well, found out today that I was denied. I am not sure what happened because I followed the mandates from the BCBS guide as well as the surgeon's requirements and then had 2 nurses look through everything before I even took it to the bariatric nurse navigator. I will get a written response detailing why I was denied on Monday. I am feeling really sorry for myself right now!

Found out that my paperwork didn't actually get submitted until the 30th. Grrrr.... Still waiting...

Ugh! I have BCBS too.

Oh no! All of the previous posters are right-you should get on the phone tomorrow and have your dr.'s office start working on it right away. I am anxiously waiting to hear back from my insurance company...I will pray that your issue is resolved quickly and comes back approved!

What a blessing that it was approved so quickly. Congratulations!

Now the fun of waiting begins! Hopefully my insurance company makes a quick and favorable decision.

Welcome, and good luck tomorrow!
