Yea, their approval process is pretty fast. As long as you have one of the qualifers like sleep Apena. I got approved within a week. But thier co-pays are pretty high. Between the doctor and hosptial, I've spent just under $5000.00 for the surgery and pre-surgery tests.

PS - I have not regretted spending one penny of the money.

PPS - Looking at the monetary side, I expect it to take about 3 - 4 years to break even on the cost of WLS - If you take into consideration the amount of money I won't be spending on food each week.

Oh wow thats crazy mine covers all except 1,200 of the surgery and it's either 90% or not to exceed the twelve hundred. Since I paid my deductable already my total cost is 700.00

Congrats on the quick approval!

I also have BCBS of TX. My first consult with the surgeon is this Friday. She is going to verify my insurance, which takes about 48 hours. I am scared though because my husband works for a small company and when I gave her the letters and numbers of the policy number, she said that most of the people who's policy number starts with those letters has a policy that does not cover weight loss surgery. There is still a chance I guess, since it is a new year but we shall wait and see. Fingers crossed!!

I have BCBS?TX and this is good news to hear. Ijust have to do my pscy concult and then we can submit. I have met the deductible and they pay 90% of hospital cost and 80% of physician fee.

Congratulations to everyone approved! I had my surgury on February 7th and have just begun and I am so happy I did this, and you will be too. I have a sister who needs this surgery so badly, she has more than enough medical issues to qualify but she works for the City and her BCBS won't cover it. I just wondered if anyone has experienced this road block and has a solution besides just paying for it outright. Thanks.

Did you get your $5000 copay waived? Where are you getting your surgery done? Thanks!!
