Blue Cross Anthem Of Ct? Anyone Else Have This Insurance?

[sarahr0 66]

Does anybody else have Blue Cross Anthem out of CT?? I was given a paper today at my consult about my insurance.

On the top of the papers it read Highmark Medical Policy.

the nutrition and exercise programs must total 6 visits or more during a period of six consecutive months

is Highermark Medical Policy the same as Blue Cross Anthem? I know there are lot of different Blue Cross' out there. Thanks

You can't decipher this insurance gobbledegook. Your surgeon's office should have staff that do. You can ask them the number for the procedure. Then call anthem at the number on the back of your card and ask if they cover the procedure. I have anthem as secondary to medicare. Medicare still doesn't cover vsg but anthem covers 80% of what medicare won't cover. It had to be preapproved and they issued certification (but it was like pulling teeth from a rabid alligator in a death roll).

You need to call to get the sweet talk. Then you need to ask the surgeon's office what it all means. The ins co says one script to you and a whole entire other script to actual providers. It stinks. Shrug. Nothing to do @ it, though.

I am actually in Pennsylvnia. But my emoloyer is based out of CT. I work at Mohegan Sun Casino in PA. all the confusion is cleared up! she had the Blue Cross Highmark Medical Policy instead of the Blue Cross Anthem Policy. she was told they were the same thing.
