Can I have Anthem Blue Cross Medi-Cal Insurance and Anthem Blue Cross Platinum D PPO?



Recommended Posts

Hi, I was wondering can I have both private insurance my Platinum D PPO and Anthem Blue Cross's Medi-Cal at the same time? I was wondering because I qualify actually for Medi-Cal but I also have a fund just for my medical expenses so I also got my Platinum D PPO. Please note: I am very obese and the fund for my medical is not that much no more than $5-6,000 just for 1 1/2 years of coverage and I still do not have enough for the co-pays and specialist visits. That's why I ask because I'm having a hard time paying the $520 a month alone. But my bariatric doctor DOES NOT take Medi-Cal that's why I bought the insurance because I was closer to getting bariatric surgery on private insurance than with Medi-Cal. I've been getting fatter by the day and my medi-cal has done dittly squat about it! I used to be on my dad's insurance but after that ended (due to me turning 21) I got a fund for my medical expenses that will barely cover 2 years let alone one and I will need help with the medical bills. Well, at least the co-pays for say my primary care doctor and some specialists that take medi-cal. So could I still get both medi-cal and private insurance or no and how does that work when paying medical bills?

      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! 😞
