  1. Just heard back from my insurance (AZBCBS) surgery was denied. Turns out the nutritionist I saw wasnt good enough. They didn't agree with my diet. I'm lost and don't know where to go from here. If I go to another nutritionist it'll take another SIX months before I MIGHT be able to have surgery!! I'm so bummed :(

      Gosh that stinks!! Who told you it wasn't good enough? The surgeon's office or BCBS? I would call BCBS and ask for their specific requirements and which you didn't meet. I think I read somewhere on here that many are denied first time, so don't despair. Get hard facts so you know what exactly what you are dealing with ask if the surgeon's office is resubmitting or what the next step is. Don't give up!

      @Daisee68 it was the surgeon's office that told me that. I feel like my patient advocate just wants to get rid of me. Anywho I have an appt with another Dr next week and Ill also be calling my insurance office to see exactly why it was denied and what I need to get it approved.
