For those of you with Anthem BCBS, did you have to go through he 6 month medically supervised diet? I don't see that I the requirements of my play but was wondering what your experiences are. Thanks!

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.

U have to know that we r both going to be fine. We just have to do what the doc says. Its weird that you try for so long to get here and now that its only days away I'm freaking out

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 bcbs ca and I live in texas I had 1 consult 1 nut and 1 psch visit they submitted and it was approved in 2 days now I'm just waitin on the surgeon to schedule the test he requires. Can't wait to get a date.

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?
