Just got Approved it only took two days!!!!

Congratulations!! Hope to hear something soon myself I just submitted yesterday! Good Luck

Thank you so much!!! Do you have BCBS/Tx cause they really do approve fast? I couldnt believe how fast it actually was I am thrilled!!

I have BCBS Texas too! So far every thing has been super easy with them for me too!!!

Yes

It really has and everything has moved so fast!

I have Anthem BCBS of CA and everyone says the same as with yours they are fast!!

Awesome I know everything will work out!!! Fingers crossed and prayers said for you!!

Yea, their approval process is pretty fast. As long as you have one of the qualifers like sleep Apena. I got approved within a week. But thier co-pays are pretty high. Between the doctor and hosptial, I've spent just under $5000.00 for the surgery and pre-surgery tests.

PS - I have not regretted spending one penny of the money.

PPS - Looking at the monetary side, I expect it to take about 3 - 4 years to break even on the cost of WLS - If you take into consideration the amount of money I won't be spending on food each week.

Oh wow thats crazy mine covers all except 1,200 of the surgery and it's either 90% or not to exceed the twelve hundred. Since I paid my deductable already my total cost is 700.00

CONGRATS!!! That is great!!

Thanks now to get my date and start finding those Febuary sleevers yay!

Congrats on the quick approval!

I also have BCBS of TX. My first consult with the surgeon is this Friday. She is going to verify my insurance, which takes about 48 hours. I am scared though because my husband works for a small company and when I gave her the letters and numbers of the policy number, she said that most of the people who's policy number starts with those letters has a policy that does not cover weight loss surgery. There is still a chance I guess, since it is a new year but we shall wait and see. Fingers crossed!!

I have BCBS?TX and this is good news to hear. Ijust have to do my pscy concult and then we can submit. I have met the deductible and they pay 90% of hospital cost and 80% of physician fee.

Congratulations to everyone approved! I had my surgury on February 7th and have just begun and I am so happy I did this, and you will be too. I have a sister who needs this surgery so badly, she has more than enough medical issues to qualify but she works for the City and her BCBS won't cover it. I just wondered if anyone has experienced this road block and has a solution besides just paying for it outright. Thanks.

Did you get your $5000 copay waived? Where are you getting your surgery done? Thanks!!

What copay are you talking about?
