BCBS TEXAS - Check on Approval Status



Recommended Posts

I've read here that people have found out the were approved for surgery before they got their letter in the mail. How do you find out? Mine was sent off November 3rd so it's only been a couple days. I'm in a time crunch to get it done before the end of the year because I'm switching insurance and new insurance doesn't cover WLS.

Hmm, don't exactly recall. I would look but I no longer have BCBSTX. It seems to me I either emailed or put in a support request on how to find out, they responded, and I took it from there. Is there a section regarding documents or something?

I called my insurance company and they were able to tell me they had not got my paper work yet. The lady was so nice and told me they have to tell you give it 30 days, but she said it really only takes about 7 days. So give them a call, they are really nice. At least BCBS of Al is.

Okay I just called! ???? it got to them yesterday on the 4th not the 3rd like my caseworker said (may have been late in the day when she sent it) so it hasn't been sent to review yet. ???? I asked her how long it usually takes and she said 7-10 business days. I've seen so many people on here say it only took like 3 days! I guess I will give it til Wed and check again.

Have you gotten your approval or are you still waiting?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
