Hello,

My name is Deb. I'm from Minnesota. My request will be submitted to my insurance this week for approval. Has anyone had any experience with Health Partners? Can you give me any idea if they will approve or will I need to jump through hoops before approval. Any help will be appreciated. :welldoneclap:

It all depends on what is covered by your plan. Your specific plan details what is required, and the only way to know that is to call them, or go online. Its not as easy as X ins company covers X procedure.

They are all different and depending on what the employer was willing to put on the policy.

I was wondering the same thing I have BCBS but its through ccs. Labors union. I am going to call first thing tom. morning. I should have called a while ago, but I am scared they won't. I just don't want to be let down.

I have an appointment in a few weeks, but as I am filling out the paper work I am afraid I don't have enough else wrong with me to get the insurance company to even consider it. I feel discouraged to even try. My husband is totally supportive and says we will self pay, but I feel so guilty putting that strain on my family. Ugg.. How can I get to the point where I know I am worth the money???? Anyone else ever feel this way?

Hi mcteri,

I don't really have anything else wrong with me either but have a 41.5 BMI. I've got my fingers crossed and expect to hear back from the insurance company in a few weeks. Do try with the insurance company, if that doesn't work then try the self pay. Your husband is a wise and wonderful man. He realizes how important this surgery is for your health.
