Highmark BCBS



Recommended Posts

Does anyone with Highmark know if adjustments are covered? I tried calling them but no one knows what I am talking about

Called my doc office. CPT is S2083 and Diagnosis is 278.01 in case anyone needs it for adjustments. Waiting to hear back from insurance as to whether it is covered.

Did you ever fing out if fills are covered? I have my meeting with the nutritionist tomorrow and then hopefully everything will be sent for approval next week. So I am eagerly crossing my fingers. I also have Highmark BCBS so I am wondering what has been covered for other people. How long did it take for you to get your approval for surgery.

I havent had my first fill yet but have been assured that it is covered. It took 3 hours for me to get my approval from Highmark

wow that is great I am so excited to hear this. I was looking at your stats and I am starting out just about where you were. Have you lost the 20lbs in less than a month or is that including pre-op loss too. Either way it is great you should be very proud.

I lost 8 pounds pre op and 12 pounds 2 weeks post op. For the last 2 weeks, though, I haven't lost a pound, but was told it is to be expected. I havent gained weight, so i am happy lol

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
