So after being on my preliquid diet for seven days and just about to get ready to start my full liquid diet, my insurance tells me that the center where I'm having my surgery is not a blue point facility so it won't be approved. I am livid. I called my drs office and they call the insurance company and they say that's bs we have it on record that you told us this facility was approved and that it did not have to be a blue point facility. So now my surgeon and office manager are trying to get in contact with the medical director over the insurance to figure something out. I don't know what to do all I feel is anger and like eating. I ask them should I continue my liquid diet or should I stop she says its your call. I am blown by this, literally three days before my surgery, I have made plans with my job and everything, like what kind of crap is this. BCBS Anthem... Literally trying to find a reason to deny me how low of them. Everything else fits and I'm approved but now its my hospital that doesn't work for them how ridiculous and its a center of excellence

One step at a time. Breathe first. Everything will eventually work out and your job will work with you.

I had to jump through many hoops with BCBS. I'm glad you got it worked out. I almost didn't get my surgery because my height on my original med records did not match my Bari doctors records so the BMI was wrong. It was a mess
