Hey Living for God. I was denied with BCBS Fed because the provider exhausted all of appeals. I had unlimited appeals so I wrote a letter to my insurance company with all of the information and I was approved within a week. Don't ever give up because you have rights! Keep fighting and hang in there. Today is my surgery date

Hi CB I also have fed BCBS. I'm still waiting on approval. Did they give you any reasons for the initial denials? What was the difference in what you submitted for your appeal and what the doctor submitted? I am concerned that they won't approve mine and I've been waiting for the last 3 months.

First appeal was denied due to missing information (proof of failed diets and nutritional evaluation was negative) 2nd appeal customer service representative said they didn't receive psychological info . Waisted an appeal re sending that document. Then my provider scheduled peer to peer review with medical director and they explained that I was missing the information and to resubmit. However when provider resubmitted BCBS Fed said all appeals had been exhausted and BCBS Fed and they never looked at new information. I wrote the appeal letter and was approved within a week

      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.
