Dr office sent initial letter of request on July 26th to insurance. On July 31st they sent all the required documentation and such and I got my approval TODAY!! YEAH!! That was the last piece that was needed. I am scheduled for surgery on August 15th in the early morning. I was so happy when I got the call, I actually cried!! Cannot wait

That's awesome you got your approval so quickly! Any advice for me? I go in for my most of my pre-surgery tests this week and have BCBS CA. I hope I have your luck!!

Good luck Melissa! As long as you have done everything your insurance expects you will have no problems. I had my RNY surgery 2.5 weeks ago and am so blessed to be doing well. I will wish you luck!!

Did BCBS cover your pre-op tests...like the chest imaging, EKG and the dietitian? I know mine covers the biometric testing but not sure of the others...

Do they need to be labled "Medically Necessary"? How are you feeling???
