I have been turned down from Blue Cross of CA.

Surgeon had sent first request.

I have sent an appeal letter, my Family Physican sending an appeal request and yesterday contacted Inamed for information to be sent to BC of Ca.

Any Blue Crosser's of CA appealing?

It's BC Life & Health Insurance-Los Angeles

I just sent my first appeal letter to Blue Cross of California this week. I think it's going to be a rough battle, but the band saved my life. My letter said it was a life saving procedure. Please keep us updated. Good luck.

BC of Illinois and Florida I heard were the most difficult. Cannot speak of CA but I'm expecting to get turned down I have my check book ready anyway no Ins company is going to get in my way.

My insurance is BC of CA as well; surgeon will be submitting request in May...any advice offered is appreciated. how many times does someone have to 'submit/appeal" if they have problems like hypertension? ortho pain?
