queencity replied to Stephanie_K's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got news this past friday by bcbsnc that they approved, so i called my surgeons office just to let them know and i asked what is the next step ( btw i already knew the answer which is to get a date lol). They should be calling back though since i left them a voicemail. -

????Blue Shield of Ca - 6 monthly weigh ins no longer needed!?
queencity replied to Sandra86says's topic in Insurance & Financing
Yes, call the surgeons office and have them resubmit the packet for pre apporval to your insrance and since they chaned their requirements they will have to approved you. Just becasue you started before they made the change doesnt mean they wont approve. Goodluck -
Sending request for approval to bcbsnc
queencity posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeons office should be sending my request for wls today. They told me that bcbsnc by law has 30 days to respond that is a really long time to approve or deny my surgery. I will be calling bcbs today to make sure they recieved my paperwork. Please wish me luck. -
I would tell them i dont feel well and would apologize for not joining them but maybe next time.

Goodluck michelle, have you called bcbs to check ? -
My surgeon said he checked for h pylori when he did my EGD. If levels of bacteria are very high when the surgery is done you are prone to ulcers.
-
I have to finish my 14 day antibiotic and then wait again 14 days to take a breath test and make sure the levels have gone down. But as i heard most surgeons are different.

my surgeon noticed i had high levels of bacteria in my stomach (h-pylori) when he did my EGD. I am on a 14day antibiotic, my bacteria levels have to go back down to normal before we proceed before surgery.

It is a requirement for the surgeon. Not the insurance company. -
BCBS requirements and approval time
queencity replied to Astrosgirl's topic in Insurance & Financing
All my appointments have been great, i just have one last appointment tomorrow to speak about exercise. The only thing that worries me is not getting clearance by my primary care provider. I have BCBSNC and had my EGD today, everything is going smoothly. -
I just got a letter in the mail that states i have to pay $1,602.26 for my appointment aug 12. I am wondering how much others paid and if there is a way to reduce this. T

How much did you pay for EGD biopsy ?
queencity replied to queencity's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have a deductable of $1,000 and the rest is the percentage they are not paying. The total cost for the EGD is $3,007.55. Which once i pay the deductable, i still pay 30% which is my responsibility. -
