BC BS MICHIGAN

my husband is month 2 of his 6 months but his GERD is so very bad that he is getting ulcers from the acid. Since the doctor has to fix his hiatal hernia anyways, does anyone think the insurance company would just do it now instead of waiting 4 additional months? Thanks in advance for any advice

I had to wait the full 6 months but didn't have comorbidities. You could call the insurance company directly or have the surgeons office check. It would be common sense to only have one surgery but then the 6 month thing is pretty arbitrary too. Like I had never tried to lose weight for 6 months before

I'm fit to be tied with Bcbs right now. I've been working with must Dr for two years on HER schedule and appts, and I got the 'you need 6 months consecutive visits', apparently 2 yrs with my drs supervision all along doesn't matter...grrrrr :/

that is so frustrating! this is going to cost them so much less in the longrun!

they did allow me to use my weight watchers history for myself

What did you submit for approval to show your participation in weight watchers?

I just printed out my weigh ins from weight watchers online. I went to meetings and used the online site for 3 years.

Great! Thanks! I contacted them and they emailed me all of my weigh ins! I have BC BS of AL so I hope they accept!

I asked this question in another forum sorry if your reading it again. I finished all the requirements it took me six months. Today I called my doctors office asking for the status on my insurance ( that's what we were waiting for it was submitted last week) and they told me I was approved for the hospital stay but it's still pending for the sleeve, for the surgery. This has really freaked me out I'm wondering if there going to deny me now. She said once they know something they will call me back. Im tempted to call Tuesday (haha) to see if they heard anything. I'm so nervous that I'm going to be denied now. Has anyone gone through this? Oh and I BCBS MI.
