Horizon Bcbs



Recommended Posts

What does it mean when it says 50% covered after pre authorization? I know the surgery needs pre auth but does that mean I have to cover 50% of the cost?? Sorry guys I am so confused. I have Horizon BCBS EPO plus, with $30 copay and $50 specialist. Thanks

That is what it means, they pay 50% and so do you.

Factor in what your Maximum out of pocket expenses are. My Horizon BCBS pays 80% after I met my deductible of $2500, but my Maximum out of pocket is $4000, so after adding up all co pays,and deductibles, I will only have to pay a maximum of $4000. Even if the surgery is 50,000 and I get billed for $10,000.

Got the approval letter. The ins company is more worried about me seeking plastic surgery after the fact. But the sleeve is covered so i dont care. Lol its funny the way they worded it . "We applaud your endeavor to lose weight, but plastic surgery procedures will not be covered due to loose skin etc".

      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!
