BCBS of Illinois

[AwesomeSleeve 5]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you MeMeMEEE!!!

I have just one (!!!!) MSWL visit left before submission - I emailed my insurance person for the program just trying to see when I can hope to get in once submitted and here is her response :

If all of the information is in place they will send through an approval, but to be honest Blue Cross hasn’t been very easy to work with in the last few months. They have been sending through denials for unfounded reasons, and we have had no problem overturning them, but it does take a little longer to get an approval when that happens. It would not be unheard of to get you on the surgery schedule in around 1 month’s time from the time that we submit you, but that depends on Blue Cross.

YAY!!! I am so excited and nervous!! Possibly will have surgery in less than 2 months!!

I should be submitted this week - today or tomorrow. Apparently the insurance cooridinator for my program has a bunch - thinking it must be from the change of 3 to 6 months. So anxious!!

Do not complain about the 6 month supervised diet with BCBS of IL. Do you realize they only started approving the sleeve in October of 2010. Ask me when I got my surgery? Sept. 2010. Yeah, I self paid for the sleeve. No regrets, but ouch on the pocketbook.

I knew it was pretty recently! I know one lady who wanted the sleeve and found out like a week before having lapband that her insurance started covering sleeve! How lucky for her!
