Hello everyone !

So here is the deal I been dealing with anthem blue cross of Ohio for the last two weeks trying to get an answer on my precert but they keep giving me the run around...I have called the main nurse left several voicemails with no call back I have called everyday since the 4th and the rep keeps telling me it's still pending with no further updates or notes. My hospital which is tufts medical center ( I'm in MA but my job offers only out of state insurance) has also been calling on a daily bases with no reply.

So my question is for those that may have this insurance how long did it take you ? I'm running out of time my surgery is scheduled for December 22 2014 and today is the 17th....they have had it since December 4...

Hi. I'm new to Bariatric Pal. What ended up happening with your insurance? Did they finally approve? I have the same insurance company but haven't gotten to the approval part yet.

I didn't get approved.

It was a mess with this insurance...luckily once the new year started I had new health insurance which took care of me and I had my surgery 2 weeks ago now

Good to hear that you were finally approved for the surgery under the new insurance. Why did Anthem BCBS of OH deny you? Just wondering because I am feeling a little uneasy dealing with them so far.
