Hi Everyone...

I would like to request prayers please. My surgeons office sent in my paperwork last Friday and my insurance company said it may be with Medical Review but they dont have any actions showing anything. I am just nervous. I know it takes some time and I am so anxious to get this surgery done.

Thanks!!!

Tory09,

I will be praying for you! Praying you will be approved and that the rest of this process will go SO smoothly for you.

Thank you so much Cheri... I appreciate that more than words can say :laugh: Have a great weekend!!!

God Bless you sister...

God is good you will see that the Lord will give you favor in Jesus name.... AMEN

Thanks for the prayers... please keep them coming. I called the insurance company and they checked with medical review and they said they did not have any paperwork on me. So they gave me their number for the drs office to call and the correct fax number and I gave it to the drs office insurance person.. but she was about to leave for a few days and wouldnt be back till next week. I am just so frustrated on this waiting for the approval... I just have to trust in God and be patient. It is so hard since I want to have this surgery now... Prayers for a speedy approval process!!!

I will still be praying for you and a speedy approval!!!

Hi I wanted to update you... the insurance has confirmed they finally have my medical paperwork in their system for review as of yesterday (it has taken months to get to this point.) I need your prayers that Anthem BCBS will approve me for the surgery for an inpatient procedure. The surgeon wont do the surgery if the insurance wont allow it to be inpatient... alot of the insurance companies want the surgery to be done on an out patient procedure, but my drs office feels you need to stay the night. I am trying my best to be patient since it has taken months to get to this point. Just pray for me please.

Much thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey tory,

if your insurance approves it as outpatient only....there are plenty of doctors that do it that way.

so you still have options if not inpatient.

good luck

I am still praying! Hang in there! Maybe if they want it to be outpatient you could pay the difference for a one night. I was self-pay all the way.

Thanks Josieb... someone in my nutrition class said it was against the state law of Virginia to do the lb procedure and not allow you to stay the night... thats what someone told me so I dont know if that is true or not...

Hi everyone!!! I got good news. I found out I was approved today but for outpatient surgery...

My drs office said they dont mind doing that but the hospital is the one that tries them to force to have inpatient procedure so they get more money. The drs office said they are going to talk with the surgery coordinator to see what they can do... Pray for me :scared2: that I get a date soon!! Thanks to all!!!!!!!!
