BCBS of illinois!



Recommended Posts

I have bcbs illinois but haven't had my surgery yet...but it depends on what your plan covers...my plan covers 90% after the deductible of 2500 has been met

No I'm waiting on approval..but I have sleep apnea and a BMI of 46.2 so I'm not really worried about it not being approved...I was just stating that your plan will tell you if you have any out-of-pocket cost...mine will be 10% of whatever the costs are

I'm not sure I think they'll bill me after looking at other claims they didn't charge upfront

It cost me about $2,200.00 you can pay the day of your surgery or after or if you have to make payments to the hospital.

But that all depends if you have no problems and don't have a long hospital stay.

It is going to vary by plan. The plan I had last year, I had met my deductible through pre-op testing so my surgery didn't cost me anything.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
