Anthem Blue Cross Question



Recommended Posts

I'm going through that too, except mine changes from minute to minute. Five minutes from now I'll be excited, but right now I'm freaking out over the idea of blood clots. Terrifying. I keep reassuring myself, though. Walk, walk, walk, and sip, sip, sip.

I have hit a serious road block with the surgeons insurance coordinator, seriously these people have NO CLUE. She sent my claim to BCBS of Texas. I have been calling Anthem for over a week about the claim and always the same, they have no claim on file. So I called the office the first time and was told "Why are you calling them" I then had to inform her I was the insured and I was the was having the surgery. The second time I called she told me she sent it in to Texas BCBS and she has conformation. Well that would be Great if I had BCBS of Texas!! These people are very incompetent, it's hard to believe they do this for a living. The precertification people at Anthem said most of the authorization is done over the phone, that's why the turnaround is quick. From the responses that I have seen lately, this seems to be a theme, it's Not Anthem it's the offices that appear to be the hold up. So I have to start the wait over again starting Monday, when the office calls the precertification line. So I will be Sleepless in Texas for the next week waiting. :(

I have Anthem BCBS and live in CA. The insurance coordinator told me they take around 4 weeks to get back with an answer. Sounds like y'all got approved much faster. Is the coordinator just not doing it right or what?

      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.
