Insurance Company and Fills



Recommended Posts

I have Blue Shield of California. All my fills are covered, but I pay a $15.00 co-pay each time I visit the doctor for a fill.

One problem I am seeing is that the dr has to bill it as an office visit for my blue cross because if they bill it as an "op surg office visit" then it is rejected because bariatric "surgery" must have a preauthorization.

So if they bill it as an office visit at $125 it is covered. If the surgeon bills it for $125 as "op surg office visit" it is not covered.

Good luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
