Preauthorization for hospital?

[wabbit 0]

Hi All,

I have a question, I have GHI-CBP and BCBS. I in the 4th month of a supervised diet to be done in Sept and paperwork put in. I was denied the first time by GHI because my pcp who referred me did not write a decent letter about my weight loss attempts for 6 months. 6 months is a requirement for them. Anyway when GHI approves (hoping) do I need to notify BCBS for preauthorization for the hospital stay? I am not sure and the insurance companies make it very confusing to figure it out. I am trying to get it all in order so there will be no future problems. Thanks for the help.

Hey Joy your doctors office should submit to both for pre-approval. I know when I do that for our office and someone has 2 insurances I file both at the same time.

Good Luck!!!!!
