Hi all,

My hubby and I are both in the pre-op phase and are awaiting approval. I'm just curious if anyone else out there is an Autozone employee with the PPO plan. And if so, how long it took for you to get your approval.

Thanks!

Do you know if there are any pre requirements?

While I don't have autozone, all that was required was the Psyc eval. Sent in on Friday to insurance and approved Monday morning. BCBSIL seems to be the most amazing company when it comes to approval. Good luck!!!

Also, there's a clause in my documents that allows for a tummy tuck if documented issues are proven. Can't wait for the 2nd best surgery I will ever have.

Prerequisites were BMI 40+, or 35+ with 1 comorbidity. psych eval, nut consult, pulmonary function test and EKG. We've completed all and are now awaiting approval.... The wait seems interminable! Surgeon also requires an EGD which we have scheduled. We can't schedule surgery until we get the approval, so I'm chomping at the bit for that approval!

Sending you good vibes, I'm sure you won't have a problem!

Thanks Fit. I'll be sure to keep you posted!

Have BCBS IL as well. They are great. Good luck to you and your hubby!! Where in Il are you having your procedure?

Thanks Chris. We're actually in Texas, but insurance coverage is through BCBSIL. We'll be sleeved at Plaza Medical Center in Ft.Worth, TX

I also have bcbsil. I'm in arkansas though. Got ins approval Thursday 26. Now waiting on doc for appointment. Psych eval and nutrition counseling done. Hopefully will get sleeved the end of October. Bmi 42, apnea and high cholesterol. Took 2 weeks and 3 days for approval. Good luck to u!

Thanks else and congrats!!!!! Are you an Autozone employee also?

Woohoo !!!!!!! The hubby and I are both approved!!!! Praise The Lord. I meet with my surgeon in the am to get my EGD results and hopefully schedule my surgery. Then we'll schedule my hubby for November. I am so excited to start my new life.

Congrats to u both!!
