Onamissionn2013 50 Posted September 25, 2012 I have Federal BCBS and I live overseas. I called today and was told that I didn't need prior approval BECAUSE I live in Europe. I asked the rep..."are you sure? I don't want a $20K bill coming to me!" She showed me in the Benefit summary where it states that precertification does not apply when living overseas. I'm thankful she didn't get annoyed because I asked her 3 times to be sure. I'm calling the surgeon tomorrow to get the ball rolling! Thank you GOD! I'm ready for this new season of my life..my new lifestyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onamissionn2013 50 Posted September 27, 2012 I have FED BCBS and was just approved the other day. it only took 2 days from the date doctor submitted. Surgery is Oct 24. Congratulations!! I'm looking to get banded in December. I got too much going on and that's the best time for me to take leave. I'll be praying for your success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Onamissionn2013 50 Posted October 15, 2012 So...first CSR I spoke with LIED...I do have to go through the pre approval process even though I'm in an overseas location! So now I have to find an English speaking nutritionist (had found one but she wants me to do Herbal Life instead...go figure) ANSI have to find a psychologist. But a delay is NOT a denial!!! I will have lap band surgery. I will change my life. I will NOT be discouraged but encouraged. Ok...had to get that out. Now back to the drawing board to have my life-changing surgery! Keep me in your prayers please. I want to be a success story too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
