Anyone have BCBS insurance?

[christo5 24]

This month is my 2 appointment and I also am schedule for my psy eval. I know the time will pass fast and it will prepare me mentally for it. I just hope the approval comes back in time for scheduling, considering it will be right around the holidays. also, these appointments and series of things I need to get done to get approved, will help me get closer to meeting my deductible.

I didn't know that my co-pays don't count towards my deductible.

I have Blue Cross Federal. It paid well and I only had to do 3 months before my surgery.

I too have BCBS Federal and am currently getting my 3 month of doctor suprvised visits before submitting my paperwork to the insurance. How long after the paperwork was submitted did you get the approval?

Did you have to show 1 yr of failed weight loss attempts? If so, how did you show that?

thanks!

I have fed BCBS. 3 months with a NUT, physc eval, proof of weight 2 years before(2012 and 2013) and dr requirements of EGD and cardiac consult, and some blood lab results. So far, out if pocket about $500 which included my $350 deductible. Not sure what my surgery will cost me once the ins pays what they contracted with the hospital and drs.

My three months started towards the end of August and I had my surgery December 5. I really didn't have a year of failed weight loss but my doctor had prescribed fentermine on two occassions over a one year period.
