Anthem Blue Cross in California



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! This is my first time using this app. Does anyone else have Anthem Blue Cross? Im waiting for my surgery to get approved by my insurance and I'm starting to feel anxious. Can anyone tell me how long their approval with Anthem took? Thanks!!

I had anthem when I was approved for my sleeve in April 2014. It took less than a week from the time my paperwork was submitted. Good luck!

Thank you!!! My paperwork was submitted on this past Monday. I hope I hear something by next week. Do you have any regrets about having the surgery and have you been able to keep the weight off?

I have anthem, my first consultation was 4/29/16. Did you have to go through the 6 months with a dietitian?

I have the same insurer and was denied due to the 6 month weight loss criteria. Went to my PCP for it. No idea what needs to be done and just wondering if anyone has more specifics or information on this.

My paperwork will be submitted MONDAY Aug 1st! I was told the best option to have the 6 month supervised diet done with the surgeon and his dieticians, since they know what the insurances want submitted to them. My PCP suggested the same thing too, maybe talk to your surgeon for further advice what your PCP needs to submit?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
