BCBS of NC

[GRLZ4DUKE 0]

I met with my surgeon today and they are submitting my paperwork. I was told they may have approval by the end of the week. I'm extremely nervous, excited and simply stressed. I initially had issues with my endoscopy and had to wait 8 weeks and have a second one. Before confirming I can have the band, my surgeon wanted the gastro Dr. to provide the appropriate approval which included meeting with a food allergist. I started the process back in May and am just now having my insurance paperwork submitted for approval. What has been other's experience? My BMI is 35.5 and I have HBP and sleep apnea. I don't know if I can handle it if it is denied. Any advice or success stories for BCBS of NC?

I was self pay but I have heard so many people say that insurance can give you the run around but whatever happends don't give up. There is always a way. Alot of people on here have gone through the insurance and can help you out. Good luck.. I hope you get approved.
