My new insurance begans June 1 and I have already done all my appts, meetings etc on my previous insurance. My dr office is sending it off tomorrow to see if they will approve it my new insurance is BCBS TN and they cover it at 90% with a $2500 co-ins. I'm just worried they won't cover it because its such a new policy Im bummed ????????

Well I wish you luck and hope everything works out ok. Most insurances now a days seem like they are all covering weight loss surgery because in the long run its less medical bills down the road if they do.

I have BCBS Tn and I didn't have any problems. My surgeon's office was awesome and did an exceptional job submitting the paperwork and had a quick turn-around!

I wish you luck!

I too have BCBS of TN! What my doctor told me is that BCBS is one of the easier insurance companies to get approval if not the easiest. My only concern with mine is they require a %10 weight loss before i can go head with surgery.

My dr office also did an awesome job with the paperwork now I have to wait to see what the insurance says. How long did it take to her your approval?

Yes I read that too, but I was wondering why they just can't use the precious years or months for your weightloss or how would they even know if u really didn't lose that much
