Any one have horizon bcbs of nj and was able to get revision band to sleeve. If so how was the approval process ? Thank u

I have BCBS of NJ but haven't submitted to the insurance company yet. I see the doctor on 10/1/14 and am hoping they submit to the insurance company right after that. I will keep you posted.

I can say that I didn't have a problem being approved with the band and another surgery to fix the band.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Oh ok that's good... good luck at ur appointment n yes please keep me posted u really appreciate that.. what problems r u having with your band?

[Gendy 27]

I just have severe heart burn and of course the usual food getting stuck. Not a lot compared to some people. But I'm not losing weight either. In fact I lost 80 and gained back 30, so I need to get the sleeve soon. I have lost 20 lbs since July, but it sure hasn't been easy.

What problems are you having?

[ladytru84 23]

[Gendy 27]

The doctor is submitting my paperwork to the insurance company the week of 10/6. So hopefully within a month I will know something.

[ladytru84 23]

Oh ok well hopefully it will work out..

Who is your doctor?

[Gendy 27]

My doctor is in Illinois. I live in Iowa and work in Iowa but my insurance is BCBS of NJ because my employer is based out of NJ.

[ladytru84 23]

Oh ok good luck this week hope they approve it

[ladytru84 23]

Hey have u heard anything from ur insurance

[Gendy 27]

I got approved! I ended up having to switch doctors and my paperwork got lost, but once the paperwork was submitted to the insurance company it only took a week and a halt to get approved!

How are things going with you?

[ladytru84 23]
