Nutritionist consult and surgery center denied

You actually can call your insurance company and get updates. By doing this I found out they actually needed more info like a date for surgery within 30 minutes I had surgeons office on the phone and got a date and about 30 minutes after that I was approved

Omg !!! Are u gonna cry? I might cry when I get my date. I'm so nervous about my stress test and EKG weds. That will be my final clearence. I will let u know if he gives me clearence. I have a fast heart beat and had been taking diet pills for a long time.

I did tear up but I was in front of a teacher asking if everything was ok- I fled the class when my phone went off and I knew the number!! Now I have to tell my team I will be gone for 2 weeks. I won't be descriptive- just tell them I'm having surgery. EEEEKKKKSSSS!!!!!!

Just received my bcbs anthem EOBs and they are denying both the nutritionalist and surgical center consult charges!! WTHeck!

From what I've been told GoodYear bcbs is a great insurance' date=' wonder why they are denying!

Alot of insurance companies don't pay for that its out of pocket

I paid for lapband fee $350 then I just had revision surgery to RNY and had to pay out of pocket $575 my is Humana

Good luck

Congrats on getting your date! Keep us posted. My insurance is covering the psych eval and the nutrionist eval but the pschy eval said I have to pay a $50 report fee along with my $40 copay. I've got BCBS.

[agirlofaith 71]

So far I'm responsible for 386.33

$150 is my deductible and $20 is for a copay. The rest is my 10% I will owe!

[agirlofaith 71]

My out of pocket is $386.52

150 deductible

20 office copay

The rest was what was left over from insurance paying at 90%!

[kisersassy 369]

I didn't have to pay not one penny. I have bcbs highmark. My out of pocket Max was 750 and that was met early January last year before I even thought of surgery
