Autozone employees with BCBS IL?

[JenniferNicole 12]

Hi all,

My hubby and I are both in the pre-op phase and are awaiting approval. I'm just curious if anyone else out there is an Autozone employee with the PPO plan. And if so, how long it took for you to get your approval.

Thanks!

Do you know if there are any pre requirements?

While I don't have autozone, all that was required was the Psyc eval. Sent in on Friday to insurance and approved Monday morning. BCBSIL seems to be the most amazing company when it comes to approval. Good luck!!!

Also, there's a clause in my documents that allows for a Tummy Tuck if documented issues are proven. Can't wait for the 2nd best surgery I will ever have.

Prerequisites were BMI 40+, or 35+ with 1 comorbidity. psych eval, nut consult, pulmonary function test and EKG. We've completed all and are now awaiting approval.... The wait seems interminable! Surgeon also requires an EGD which we have scheduled. We can't schedule surgery until we get the approval, so I'm chomping at the bit for that approval!
