Health Net Blue & Gold ***

[Keysharenee1 6]

I was researching what was covered with my insurance and it states that Gastric surgery is indeed covered (YAY). Only thing is I know that *** likes to give people a hard time authorizing such surgeries. Does anyone else live in the LA/OC area in SOCAL that has healthnet and had success? I don't see my doctor until next month and I am afraid he is going to give me a hard time.

i have healthnet h m o and i live in so cal, I saw my primary care doctor in July so about 5 months ago, I had to obviously meet the criteria, then i was referred to a dietitian which was a quick appointment to get history of family and weight loss, next i went to a psych appointment, then surgeon orientation. My surgeon had a few of his own requirements which i finally met all of those as of last night! So my insurance request was sent in today. So far there wasn't any problems with insurance referring to each step. I was also told by the insurance coordinator at my surgeon office that healthnet is nice to work with because they are aware at this point that i am trying to have weight loss surgery because I have followed they're necessary steps to get here. Good luck with your journey.

how did it go with Health Net Blue Gold? I currently have them as well and the surgeon that I was told I would be referred to stated that Health Net would not use her so i'm trying to find out who I would see I guess. Wondering how good this insurance is.....you didn't have any problems? i live near Sacramento
