  2. Insurance Approval

    twig1425 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I just received a letter from my insurance company (Capital Blue Cross). It says I've been approved for services which they agree are medically necessary. However, the requested services/procedures just says "inpatient admission". It doesn't even list the provider whom requested the auth. I'm pretty sure this means I'm approved. Anyone else get a letter like this which was non-specific? Guess I'm just so scared somebody is going to tell me I can't have the Sleeve done.

    Jacksmom91213....I have Capital a Blue Cross also. I too have a BMI below 40 but I also have sleep apnea. I'm almost done with my first month of dietician monitored diet(dr required - not ins). I'm also afraid of being denied but I spoke to someone who got approved by CBC with just having high cholesterol and she looked under 40 BMI also. I haven't been scheduled yet. I see the Surgeon in two weeks. (Dr. DiMarco). Where are you having it done? Hope we both get approved!
