Submitted Today Anthem BCBS!



Recommended Posts

I was surprised in a way but not really, Anthem BCBS denied me in two days the first time. I just anticipated at least weeks, I'm so excited I was approved and will not have to go to Mexico. Good Luck to all who are still waiting on approval :)

Congrats on your approval!! I am curious. I saw the doctor today and he said I was a candidate, my surgery was scheduled along with post-op appts. Does this mean I'm in the clear with everything or is this a formality?

Congratulations! I am coming out of creepy lurker status to comment on this thread because we seem to have very similar stats and I am wondering if you had co-morbities or did you submit on BMI only?

I have Anthem BCBS as well and my paperwork was submitted on 1/30 and I am still waiting on approval. :(. I called on Friday and they said it was under review but they had a certain number of business days they were allowed to take to review. I am starting to worry just a little bit!

Maybe with luck I will get an answer this week and we might end up both being March Sleevers!

I only submitted with BMI but my legs hurt and my bp is up and down so we went with that as well.
