I was just wondering if anyone had Highmark BC/BS insurance? If so, about how long did it take to get approved for surgery?

I had it when I had my surgery it was real quick when I had all my paperwork only 2 weeks once we faxed everything.They do require 6 month supervised diet and exercise and nutrsionist.Good luck I would do it again in a heart beat.

I also had to have 6 month supervised diet. It took less than 48 hours to get an approval from the insurance company. Good Luck

I hope things go that quickly for me. I will be done with my 6 month diet Feb. 2. And I have to wear a CPAP for 14 nights. I just started last night, so I should be done the first week of february. My delima is that My insurance either runs out March 1 or April 1 and I'm trying to get the surgery before then. If not, My husband should go back to work in July so I guess I'll just have to wait until then.

Do any of you know how that will work if the insurance gets cancelled and I have to wait until it is reinstated? I really hope I don't have to do anything over.

Thanks for the info

Jen
