Bcbs Tx Insurance



Recommended Posts

Have blue cross blue shield of Texas, My stuff was sent to them for approval over a week ago & I haven't made time to call them yet.

Any tips on how to BuG the insurance company to get a faster response?

What should I tell them if I call them several times a day like I've seen some people have?

Mine took about 2 weeks to approve. Thy were real helpful when I did call to ask some questions and make sure they had all the info they needed from surgeon and me. And at the end of the call she said good news! There's a note in your file saying your approved! I got a letter in the mail a few days later. The process was pretty painless

Mine was submitted Jan 5th and I got approval Jan 20th.

After the 1st week went by I called everyday. You get a different person everytime you call, so I didn't feel like i was bugging anyone. LOL!

They were really easy to work with. One person even told me that as long as they have everything they rarely deny someone. She said 90% of denials are because something wasn't completed.

WIth our BCBS we can check EVERYTHING on line, wven approval / pre-derterminations/ denails and claims. This is what I plan to do!

Do u log in via 'blue access,? If so it is under one of the tabs, policy/claims I think then there is a portion that shows pre cets and u can choose from 60 Days to current & which family member it will be on.

I 'assumed all BCBS accounts had this but maybe not.?

I hope this helps!

IDK on how you check it but I found out yesterday that i was approved on 3/2/12. I've left 4 messages for my doctors scheduler to call me so I can get my sleeve scheduled & no response in 3 days. I'm getting upset I'm gonna call tomorrow & demand someone talk with me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
