Hello All,

Does anyone have BC/BS in Southern California that has gone through the Insurance song and dance and has been successful getting approved.

I had tried last year when my company went from Preudential to BC/BS and I chose an EPO plan. When I tried applying for the surgery through several doctors I was denied becasue they said that the EPO I was under didn't cover it. So I had to wait a year when I can change my plan to a PPO to re-apply. But I'm worried that I will still have the same problem so I wanted to know if anyone out there has had any sucess and can give me some suggestions.

Wish me luck. I need it to save my own ife.

Thanks

I have blue cross of southern california and it was easy as can be within 3 months of starting the whole process i was banded! and they were very fast in authorizing the surgery, i knew the day after my surgeon sent them all the paperwork that afternoon they called and told me i was approved, hopefully it goes as smoothly for you,where you trying to get banded?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. Did you have the EPO or PPO plan?

I haven't decided where to go yet. You have any recomendations? How long ago did you get banded?

I actually have the HMO 100% coverage, what city are you in?

I hope my new PPO covers it.

I'm in L.A. Near Pasadena
