Anthem Blue Cross Question



Recommended Posts

I'm going through that too, except mine changes from minute to minute. Five minutes from now I'll be excited, but right now I'm freaking out over the idea of blood clots. Terrifying. I keep reassuring myself, though. Walk, walk, walk, and sip, sip, sip.

I have hit a serious road block with the surgeons insurance coordinator, seriously these people have NO CLUE. She sent my claim to BCBS of Texas. I have been calling Anthem for over a week about the claim and always the same, they have no claim on file. So I called the office the first time and was told "Why are you calling them" I then had to inform her I was the insured and I was the was having the surgery. The second time I called she told me she sent it in to Texas BCBS and she has conformation. Well that would be Great if I had BCBS of Texas!! These people are very incompetent, it's hard to believe they do this for a living. The precertification people at Anthem said most of the authorization is done over the phone, that's why the turnaround is quick. From the responses that I have seen lately, this seems to be a theme, it's Not Anthem it's the offices that appear to be the hold up. So I have to start the wait over again starting Monday, when the office calls the precertification line. So I will be Sleepless in Texas for the next week waiting. :(

I have Anthem BCBS and live in CA. The insurance coordinator told me they take around 4 weeks to get back with an answer. Sounds like y'all got approved much faster. Is the coordinator just not doing it right or what?

      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! 😞
