Does anyone in Wisconsin know. How the approval process works. If you have state insurance. I currently am covered under children's community health. But I was considering. Switching to BcBs or United Health.

I just had surgery and I was covered with children's COMUNITY ... DO Not change the only thing you need with them is to have a high bmi that is it you don't have to have co-morbidities nothing just have a bmi over I believe it's 40 6 months supervised diet with primary and nutritionist and that's it ! If you have all that done u are approved it usually takes them 8 days to let you know your approved if not sooner! Good luck I am 7 weeks out 55lbs down so far and so excited about how this is working out for me!

Thanks Vicky! I am new to this process and had no idea of how it worked. Do you live here in Wisconsin?

I don't have that insurance, but I'm from Madison! Where are you?

I'm in Milwaukee

What insurance do you have?

Are any of you getting or have gotten it done at UW Madison?

Wisconsin here! But my bypass was done in Milwaukee. Anthem Bcbs was wonderful only had to have a bmi over 40 and no supervised diet. I had my consultation last sept and had surgery exactly 2 months later in November

I have Aetna insurance and had surgery at UW Hospital.

OK,how was the surgery? I was also considering the sleeve. But it's not covered under state insurance.

@@Madtownsunshine17 Hi! I also have Aetna insurance and am getting it done at UW. How did it go?

@@chasingchloee, Everything went well! I likely could have gone home the next day, but I asked to stay because I was going home alone. It was smooth sailing. Good luck to you!!
