So I finally applied for horizon today since my school insurance doesn't cover bariatric surgery but horizon does.. Anyone knows if horizon blue cross blue shoes epo plus makes you wait the 3months/6months before approved? Please please please share.... I'm in the process f getting cleared from my cardiologist only 3 more tests to go woohooo .. I found out that I have a little high cholesterol and blood pressure. I am finally a BMI of 35.5... This should be enough right?

I have Horizon BCBS PPO, here is what I was told to submit: 5 Years Weight History, 3 Continuous Visits to a Nutritionist, Psychological Clearance and the surgeon consultation. I thought the BMI requirement was closer to 40 though. I have 2 co-morbids (sleep Apnea with BiPap and High Blood Pressure) and a BMI over 50.

I'm also submitting records from my sleep apnea doctor and my gym records just in case.
