Could really use postive thoughts and prayers now.

I need this surgery!

MsE

I had to FIGHT my insurance company all the way, contact your HR Dept & CEO and beg/pleed for an exception. My companies CEO & HR Manager pushed mine through.

It will happen, be patient and persistant(but kind)

^{Thank you BigCraig! I appreciate it.}

Hi Everyone...

Thank you Chuckles.

BTW, I have Anthem BCBS...anyone know about there appeal process?

BTW' date=' I have Anthem BCBS...anyone know about there appeal process?[/quote']

call them up and ask what needs to be resubmitted or what do you need to qualify. If you google BCBS bariatric surgery guidelines you can probably pull up the policy. I have a pdf copy and can send you one if you would like to go through it. I am not exactly sure about anthem, but they should have a similar policy.

Before my appeal was submitted, they told me I needed to show proof that I was compliant with the diet and exercise portion. I sent in my unofficial transcripts for the yoga & boot camp classes I took. I also included a copy of a HMR food order that was placed. The food lasted forever. Besides the doctor let them know I am having difficulty with food because it's constantly getting stuck and although I exercise at times I do not due to joint pain in my hips and ankles.
