I've been approved

[healthymesoon 19]

OK... I'm super excited. I sent in all my paperwork on Friday. My patient navigator was on vacation until today. She submitted my paperwork at 10:30 today and called me at 11:45 am and tells me I was approved by BCBS. Now I'm waiting to schedule everything. Did not realize it would go this smooth. I was terrified at first but now I feel like this is all God's plan. Yay me!!

[rebeccasams 22]

Yeah. I was approved yesterday. My date is March 24th.

Wonderful!! I hear BCBS is a lot smoother to deal with than most other insurance companies. AETNA made me resubmit three times! and they still had a coverage cap! GO YOU! good luck with everything

Did you have to do the 6 month wait??

[joodster219 7]

That's wonderful! congratulations! What BCBS do you have? I have BCBS-MI thru GM and have to do a 6 month supervised documented diet. I have until July/August before they submit. I hope they do the same thing. How awesome for you!

My paperwork was submitted to BCBS of NJ a week ago! Still haven't heard. Waiting patiently but starting to get worried. My date was set for March 26 pending insurance approval!

No I did not. Just needed to see Nut, letter of recommendation and Psychiatrist.

Oh good Tiffany4fit - we can keep each other company. It seems like it will be forever, however - everyone says it flies by fast. Plus, we can learn all the tips like chewing slowly, drinking without a straw, eating Protein first, and then we'll be set when the surgery gets here. I'm creating a monthly task plan to not get so anxious. It's difficult, but I am excited! Congrats everyone else on your surgery dates! I can't wait to post mine!
