Nustyle.....how long did it take for bc/bs to approve?

[PeaceLove&Tash 27]

It only took 4 days for bcbs to approve me! But I am 40 bmi with HTN

At my first appt., I told the nurse I was 2 inches shorter than I actually am to help inflate my BMI a bit. The things we do, huh?

[polandspring 11]

Haha...i told them 1in shorter..ur so right

Hey you 35 to 40 BMI folks that got approved, did you have other issues that helped? I am 36 bmi and have high blood pressure, has been as high as 150/100. more typical is 140 over 90. I did the initial consult and it read 130/70 I bet it is that I quit smoking. Also have not taken the meds in a few years. I discuss psyc eval with nurse on 23rd then can be reviewed for approval (i hope!) hope normal blood presure didn't blow it.

If you are diagnosed HTN you shouldn't have a problem...130 is a little high but not considered HTN.

I was low bmi with only high blood pressure. It's been documented for years. I was worried, too but no problems with the insurance at all.
