Any one here who has the local government BCBSAL plan? If so, after your precertification paperwork was submitted by the surgeon's office, how long did it take to receive approval?

How long did it take you to get approved? I have the exact same insurance plan as you and just had my php submit my three year weight history last week to my surgeons office to Submit to bcbs. It's hard to find anyone on the forums with BCBSAL local government plan.

Vey thoughtful of you to offer insurance question help. my husband's BCBS AL insurance needs his weight for the last three years for approval: however he never went to any PHP during 2015, but he went all previous years. How will the insurance do with approval without three consecutive years of weight with him needing approval for 2016 surgery but no 2015 weight? For the past five years, his BMI is well over 50 , he has sleep apnea diagnosis and he is 480 lbs. Being that this weight is well documented for many years , will the insurance still require a 2015 weight? Will they possibly approve without 2015 weigh.

Hi Courtney Louise, I believe you and I have the same insurance. I have BCBSAL government employee plan and the only requirement of me was three years of weight history. Two questions: after your surgeon submitted to BCBS, how many days did It take for you to receive your approval? My second question is for others here because it's similar to your question. My husband needs his weight for the last three years: however he never went to any php during 2015, but he went all previous years. How will the insurance do with approval without three consecutive years of weight of him needing approval for 2016 surgery but no 2015 weight? For the past five years, his BMI is well over 50 and he is 480 lbs.
