  1. Hello Everyone, I got my papers Oct 24 saying I was denied due to the fact I did not meet my 6 months weight loss criteria threw Blue Care Network. Something is not right because my doctors office just called me Oct 23 saying they had just faxed my medical records over to the specialist to be processed and the denial papers I got were dated for Oct 20 something cannot be right. My doctor told me Oct 6 that she had everything covered so that my paperwork would go threw. My question to the forum is when I speak to the doctor and especially Blue Care Network what do I need to say and do so I can get this done correctly and reapply and get the lapband because I really need and want this? Are they any some hinters on how to lose a little weight so they can see that I am trying to get the approval I am looking for? Can anyone help me with the appeal process? Is there anything that I am overlooking I have only been working on getting the Lapband since Aug 19 and I know there is still alot of information I am missing out on? I just want to know the ins and outs of the insurance company tactics to deny a person of feeling better. HELP ME PLEASE! Sincerely, Bunni Love:smile2:
  2. Hello everyone, Blue care network denied my surgery today because they said I did not meet the six month weight loss criteria. What do I do next? I want to apply again, but I want to make sure everything is in place. If anyone out there can give me some helpful pointers I would gladly appreciate it because its Friday evening and I will not be able to get BCN or my physician on the phone until Monday. Sincerely, Bunni Love

  5. Hello Everyone, I just joined lapband talk and I am interested in discussion about the procedure. I just have my pychological evaluation and I passed. Now I have to wait for insurance approval. The waiting is on to kill me because I want this so bad. Please someone help me with my journal to take my mind off the waiting. Sincerely Bunni
