I spent a few hours last night reviewing this topic and now have doubts and worries and all kinds of swirly thoughts and potential dread!

The practice said they don't submit anything they think has a chance to be refused, I hope their right.

Here is what I know, 6 month diet done, bmi 39, sleep test resulting in a positive diagnosis for sleep apnea, GP recommendation, psych eval - was all good enough for them to submit.

The insurance is Anthem BCBS out of TN, seeing other's anthem experiences it seems a little all over the place, so I don't really know what to think. The insurance company said its under nurse review and they have 15 days to render a decision.

If anyone has experience with Anthem in TN, I would love to hear!

Thanks

Hahahaha thanks. I have my dr. Appt on Tuesday. Cant wait.

Surgery scheduled for December 26!

Talk about holidays, surgery scheduled for 12/26!

OMG!!! Merry Christmas to you! I'm scheduled for December 2nd! So don't feel bad, I get to smell all of the Thanksgiving dinner while I'm on liquids:( Congrats on your date! Now we can start a new post worrying about what's next.

My surgeon just submitted everything to BCBS of Alabama. I thought there was a 15 day wait, but after calling the insurance office, they told me they had 30 days! Argggghhh!

Should I start bugging them in a week or so anyway?

Couldn't help myself....I called BCBS today. They haven't finished reviewing my paperwork, and they reminded me of the "up to 30 days" policy. They received my paperwork on Monday 11/11/13.

I'm finding myself more upbeat these days...thinking that this might actually happen! Might also be because when I get up and open my bedroom door....I have four 8-week old kittens galloping down the hallway to greet me! Puts a smile on my face first thing in the morning!
