So I called my insurance co (AZBCBS) today and they said that my LAP BAND is considered an outpatient procedure however I CAN submit all my info for pre determinationm. I dont understand why my patient advocate would not do that from the beginning. Sometimes I feel like because I opted for a less invasive procedure they dont take it seriously. Or because It wont pay out as much as Gastric Bypass or Gastric Sleeve, Im being left out in the cold to fend on my own. Anyway I told that to my patient advocate and provided her the # for my insurance PrIor Auth department and she was a little shocked that I called. Yeah Take That!! Not giving up!!
