Bcbs Insurance



Recommended Posts

I'm getting all my paperwork ready to submit to the insurance but I'm scare that I will not qualify. I'm 5' 7" and weight 245. I have lost 30 pounds in the last year but I gain all of it back plus more after I stopped taking diet pills. I having high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. My insurance requires bmi of > 35 with relative illness or > 40 with documentation of weight loss attempts. I have tries many diets but how do I show proof?

I am 5'6 weight 216. I have NC BCBS. My doctor submitted my paper work tuesday. I am waiting patiently for an answer. I have faith and believe I will be approved. I have the same medical issues as you plus GERD. I just told the doctor what diets over the years I had tried and he wrote it down. I did not have to show proof of what diets.They required two years proof from doctor my weights. Hower, 2010 I never went to the doctor so I had to send them a picture of me in 2010.So hopefully soon we both will be on the losers bench. Believe!!!! and it will happen.

I have BCBS AL. On my first surgeons visit I had to give him a list of all the diets I had tried over the years like weight watchers, Atkins, and diet pills I used. I also had to send documentation of my height and weight from 2009, 2010, and 2011 as well as the seven doctors visits for this year. i have one doctors visit left but the surgical coordinator says she can get an approval online and she can tell that I won't get denied. however, my BMI is 51 and i have 2 comorbidities.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
