Anyone got approved before EGD was done?
christo5 replied to christo5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well this is good news, I too have BCBS Iowa. My EGD is scheduled for Friday. I am here at the doctor now for my PreOpt for the EGD. I had to force my insurance to submit without it. -

Prior Approval Before EGD?
christo5 replied to christo5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The insurance coordinators are dropping the ball. My EGD is scheduled for next Friday the 24th, but they are telling me they can't submit it without approval. I know it's a bunch of BS, cause 2 of my co-workers got approved and neither of them had a EGD done. -

christo5 replied to orlando's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Who is your insurance company? I would talk to whoever your advocate is and let them know you're already approved. You need to have the approval in writing for them to schedule your surgery. -

How many Supervised Weigh-loss visits did your insurance require?

6 month medically supervised diet policy changes?!?!?!?!

6 month medically supervised diet policy changes?!?!?!?!
christo5 replied to S(he) be(lie)ve(d)'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have BCBS Iowa and my insurance only requires 1 supervised NUT visit. I initially went to True Results and they told me I had to do 6 visits but a private doctor told me I only had to do 1 visit. Is anyone else experiencing the same situation? I think I am going to go with the private doctor. I think True Results is trying to scam me. I looked into my billing summary and explanation of benefits and they billed for Breathing problems and sleep apnea. That is not what I went in for, It was suppose to be a supervised weight-loss visit. Is that strange or what? -
Just Starting 6 Month Program
christo5 replied to beachgurl84's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
This month is my 2nd weightloss visit. I am trying not to think about how long, its going to take to complete the visits and get the final approval. All I can think about it getting it done and loosing the weight. I know it will go by fast buy I just hope the approval process is not to long since that will be close to the holidays when I am complete. -
Should I tell my boss I am having WLS or just say I need medical leave?
christo5 posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I plan on taking no more than 2 weeks even though the doctor says I should be a go return after 1 week. Should I tell my boss or just let him know I am having a medical procedure and need to tame some. I just don't want my procedure to be the talk of the office.
