Health Net Blue & Gold ***



Recommended Posts

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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
