Rather annoyed at doctor and insurance



Recommended Posts

I was told during this whole process that my insurance would cover my procedure. I was approved by insurance. Well, I was looking at my explanation of benefits and it turns out that is not the case! It is too late though. I was sleeved on feb 12th. My surgeon does have a contract with BCBS of Tx and that will be covered. But the part that won't? The endoscopy I had done in January. That doctor (of which I had no choice of and had no knowledge he doesn't have a contract with BCBS) is not going to be covered (4000). The doctors office also billed 2 generic appointments under that doctor instead of my surgeon (at 1000 a pop). I am super mad! The doctors office told me to calm down that the claims aren't final and they work with me. I expected to come out of this paying 1900 (which is my max out of pocket cost for in network). Now it looks like I will have to pay Double that since that is my out of pocket out of network cost. I am livid. I hoping they will appeal. Ok. Rant over.

I'm sorry to hear your insurance is giving you so much problems. I hope they do straighten it out for you.

      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! 😞
