TxDumplin 69 Posted February 27, 2013 The surgeons office called me and said bcbs of illinois denied me. Said i need proof that medication is not controlling high blood pressure or my high cholesterol. So i called my family dr. and having her fax over my medical records so the surgeons office can re-submit it to insurance again. Last blood work my total cholesterol was 201 with medication and my blood pressure has been a bit on the high side with medication. I'm really worried this is all coming to an end for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElleG 394 Posted February 27, 2013 Yikes! That is scary. My blood pressure is controlled with the meds (now that they added another) but I would think in the long run it would save them to pay for this now rather than medication & tests for the rest of your life. That is very scary. I wish you the best and I hope they reconsider with the info from your doc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm2872 635 Posted February 27, 2013 You'll be OK. Have faith. The insurance companies like to torture us a bit but for the most part, it all works out. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxDumplin 69 Posted February 28, 2013 Thanks ya'll....i'm just so in the dumps today :/....My hopes were so high on getting approved. I just don't know what to think. The surgeons office is going to submit it again after she gets my medical info from my primary doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
