Well today is the day my papers were submitted to bcbs of sc. Scared, excited, nervous all at once. I'm trying to not get my hopes up in case I get denied, but I'm thinking positive. When the surgeon ran my insurance it stated I only needed 2 supervised NUT appointments, when I called they told me 6 months. Idk let's see how this goes.

@@Jennie7607 - God Speed in this. It's difficult navigating through insurance. Keep an eye on Mexico. Look at the cost of your time vs. insurance co-pays. It would have been $2500 with insurance plus hours of their damn stupid classes all at a 3rd grade level or $4500 to do it myself in Mexico. Easy choice IMHO. Rant over. Good luck in you journey, it I can offer any insight, let me know.

Where r u in sc? I'm in Summerville seeing dr Mcdevitt.

@@OKCPirate thank you! I was so excited bc I didn't have to pay anything out of pocket due to my deductible and max oop being met. I'm going to cross my fingers and say that if it doesn't go through, there was a reason for it. Then keep on trucking along for the next few months.

@@AllisonK1986 - I'm actually not in sc. I'm in PA. My husbands employers is based out of NY. We did have BCBS of Rochester but they switched, or got bought out and now we have this one.

I live in Georgia......work in South Carolina. My employer is going from United Health Care to BCBS South Carolina.

They are just the plan administrators and I suspect the actual coverage categories will remain the same as they are stipulated by my employer.

I hope it all works favorably with you.

I can say that years before, when we were BCBS SC, the administrative part was much easier to deal with than it was with United Healthcare. UHC seemed to be cumbersome and difficult.

UHC sure ran me around through the obstacle course leading up to my sleeve surgery. I think you'll be better served by BCBS.

Best of luck to you.

Thank you everyone I received the call today I was approved! I'm so excited and nervous in a whole.
