Does anyone know how to change personal info? It says I am 11 years old!!!!! OMG! I am 31! I typed the year wrong...1997...my daughter's age! I was supposed to type 1977. Oops!

I called fed BCBS Monday and talked to a rep about surgery. I specifically asked her if I needed to prove that I had followed my docs weight loss plan for 6 months and I was told that fed BCBS doesn't need to do that anymore. So, I called Penrose and set up an educational consult. Today I was called by Penrose and was told she had recieved a memo that said I needed to follow a 6 month plan. So, I called my doc, set up an appt and they proceded to tell me I didn't need to. So I turned around and called the insurance company again and they again told me I didn't need to. So I called Penrose again and left a message...talk about confusing! I went ahead and kept my doc appt for my 6 month plan...but talk about getting the run around. Anybody else experience this with fed blue cross blue shield? P.S. If you think you have read this before under the insurance link...you have. I realized after I posted it that I should have kept it all together. Duh!

I took no offense to your comment and will post my own. Sorry about the hijack, didn't mean to do so. Thanks for the comment!

I too have BCBS through the govt. All of these years I have tried other plans and haven't gotten approved because I am too healthy- I am only obese and have no health problems. I haven't tried this year with BCBS though. Do I need other medical problems to qualify? I will call this week and see what they tell me. But any insight would be good. Thanks!
