Anthem BC/BS, KY (Blue Access)



Recommended Posts

I am so :angry !

I started checking into a band for my mom......

I helped her set up a profile, and then I downloaded her Health Certificate... guess what is on EXCLUSION #33? You guessed it..

33. For bariatric surgery, regardless of the purpose it is proposed or performed. This

includes but is not limited to Roux-en-Y (RNY), Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery or

other gastric bypass surgery (surgical procedures that reduce stomach capacity

and divert partially digested food from the duodenum to the jejunum, the section of

the small intestine extending from the duodenum), or Gastroplasty, (surgical Certificate

procedures that decrease the size of the stomach), or gastric banding procedures.

Complications that result in an Inpatient stay or an extended Inpatient stay for the

bariatric surgery are not covered

Dang it, she needs it so... and now she is so depressed........ I swear.. If I had the money I would fly her ass to Mexico and get it done, OR Denver, but Mexico would be warmer...

It is because you have ANTHEM BCBS. She has a different state blue cross that is not an ANTHEM state. I have heard Anthem is really good about covering it. I just got my surgery date today It is Feb 6th and I have anthem as well.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
