BCBS of MA?



Recommended Posts

Anyone have any experience dealing with them? Just wondering what I'm going to possibly run into.

Thanks!

I have BCBS of NY. I had to do 6 months of supervised nutritional weigh in appointments at once a month. I also had to meet certain BMI requirements. Once I had the 6 months is with all the other appointments they approved me quickly. Where are you in the process? Good luck!

Beginning! I've done the info meeting, sent in a huge packet of all my stuff. See the psyh, nurse clinician and bariatric dr all on the 28th in the morning along with labs.

My ins does not require the diet, and states just a BMI 40+ or 35 with co-morbs.

From what I've been reading, it almost seems too good to be true!

YEAH!! I do know people who had similar guidelines with insurance and it was a a rather quick and easy process. I am so happy for you. I remember being so nervous when mine went out for approval hoping and praying everything was right :) You will do just fine. Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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.
