Anyone go to southcoast center for weight loss in wareham and have masshealth and bmc how long did the approval take to come back?

Ugh that sucks yea it took them a long time to send mine out too..but the approval only took like two weeks

I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I'm a little peeved right now at southcoast, because I've been told over and over that I should be tracking an early December surgery, and now the scheduler tells me that she can't submit until Jan 1st, because MassHealth has a 3 month in the program requirement. Nobody told me about this until the last visit! Not even MassHealth when I called them! So now it looks like the end of January for me, and I may have lost my insurance by then. So upset.

I'm sorry you're going through that. 3 month participation is new to me as well. Not once was I told anything like that during my process. The whole thing is a big pain but worth it in the end. I just called mass health yesterday to make sure I didn't need to renew my coverage. It's frustrating.

Well, I lost my MassHealth coverage, but on the upside, I was able to sign up for Neighborhood Health Plan until the beginning of March, which everyone says is better, and easier for the bariatric team to work with. Downside, I had to postpone my appointments until January 12. Another downside, I might lose that insurance soon, so things better happen quickly or I might have to wait another YEAR (according to one source who says since this is pre-existing, BCBS of MA might turn me down for a year, if I have to go on that insurance through work). I'm really beginning to hate insurance...

I am feeling a lot better today...had to get more fluids yesterday hopefully now that I am getting in more water than I was the doctor will let me move on

How has your first 6 weeks been going for you? Are you doing better than the last time you posted?
