Bc/bs Illinois Anyone?
Lap of Luxury replied to CATHY1102's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Cathy, I have BC/BS of Illinois HMO and I was banded 04/09/07. I can't say that I really had a hard time with them. I had to jump thru the usual hoops but nothing major. I decided I wanted to have the Lap Band in late January 07 and by April 9th I was banded. I have no idea what my primary care physician had to go thru but maybe he could assist your doctor in navigating the BC/BS land mines. I'm the first patient my primary care physician has had that he has actually had to process thru the insurance system for the lap band. He has one other lap band patient but they were already banded when they started seeing him. Let me know if I can help in any way. Good Luck to you. It will happen!
