My last weigh-in is this Thursday and psych eval is on Friday then all will be submitted to BCBS FEDERAL... I'm just starting to get nervous, what IF they don't approve me?? I met all the requirements..did anyone have a easy approval with bcbs fed???

I have BCBS federal and once I was done My approval was within 1 1/2 weeks. I was told by my clinic that it is the easiest. As long as you have done everything and packet is put together properly, You will get you approval quick.

I have BCBS and was approved within 2 days.. Ms Wanda is correct.. I turned in a package that was so organized that they made it a pointto tell me how they appreciated it. My case manager was God sent too.. BCBS is pretty good. very happy with them

I have BCBS federal and was approved within three days!!

Thank you both!

I have a question...if I used my ER records from 2011and 2012 that state my weight (I didn't see a reg doctor between summer of 2009-nov 2012) do you think they would accept that for the 2 yr medical history???

Probably! I didn't have a two year medical history really and was fine!

I have BCBS Fed also and was approved within 2 weeks. I also didnt have a steady 2 years of doctor visits but they took my 2009 records and my 2012 records. Easy peazy! I was most worried about not having the 2 year documented weight but it was fine.

just wanted to add my 2 cents...i have BCBS Federal, there was a lapse in my dr visits as well. I went to my OB/GYN & got a good weight & BP history from him for the past 2 years & he wrote me a letter as well as my PCP. Hope this helps & good luck!!

Thank you everyone! They're submitting the packet on Tuesday! So I'm praying I get an approval!

I am submitting to BCBS fed tomorrow and I am so nervous.

I had to get a letter from my OB as well.

Did you hear anything yet?

Good luck!!! They were really fast and easy with mine. My patient advocate submitted mine 5/28... it was approved 5/29 but I called the insurance company 5/31 and that's when they informed me when it was approved.

Awesome. Have you had surgery now?

We submitted mine today and BCBS called back and asked for a tentative surgery date so hopefully that means good news.
