BCBSNC- Don't fail me now!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I heard from my surgeon's office (Dr. Pirrello) that they are submitting my packet to insurance for pre-approval TODAY! I am so excited & nervous! I don't see many posts about bcbs- North Carolina, so I am hoping somebody will step up & share their experiences with getting approved.

The assistant said that it normally only takes 2-3 days to get approval from them, SO HERE IS HOPING FOR GOOD NEWS MIDWAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK!!

Is there any reason that you WON'T get approved if you meet the requirements ( & have for the last 5 years) & it is a covered surgery on your policy? I am just curious if they can deny you even if you meet the requirements & are in good health to have the surgery.

THANKS!!

Good luck too you! I ahve different insurance than you so I can't help you there. I think if you haven't heard from the insurance in the next couple days you should call and check on th stauts. Thats what I did and I got the good news way before my Dr. knew. The sooner you know the sooner you can get to the next step of the process. Good Luck keep updating!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
