I have a scheduled OR date of 10/3106. I see the pulmonologist this Monday and I am finished with the dr's and all is o, I don't have any breathing problems so i expect this last visit to be cleared. But today I learned the the surgeons in Delaware are no longer going to accept Blue Cross, any suggestions? I'm freaking out after all this work and worry.

Hi there MIMI,

I assume you have gone to CHRIAS. Try not to worry about the BC/BS thing. What it means is that they are in negotiations for how much the insurance wants to pay and how much the doc charges. My suggestion is to get everything done--as far as all of your other doc stuff and wait out CHRIAS. I think they will know in the next week or so.

I just had a LAPBAND on 9/13 and have BC/BS of DE. Even if there is a problem--I don't know of other surgeons--there are none in any other county than NC.

good luck.

it will work out and all of the work you are doing will be worth it. I felt the same way. Had my 2 week today and have lost 13 lbs.

I too heard from my insurance company that they are back in negotiations (this after receiving a letter stating they would no longer take my insurance at all!)

They should reach a decision soon and BC/BS said that they are confident I'll continue to have some sort of coverage.
