Hello All

I have BMC mass health I had my sleeve done at Tobey Hospital August 19th buy Dr Krueger. My approval took a couple weeks I had to be proactive. I got the run around. It was a pain in the but. They kept saying it will be send in but no one ever knew if it was. In the end I found out someone sent it in July 22nd last day of my workshop. And Dr Krueger told me I was approved on the 30th while I was there for my nurses education class and last visit with him.

I know it I felt the same way. Like how is this difficult for you all. Don't you do this every day? The office has a serious lack of communication skills. Thank the Lord the Doctors are excellent as well as the staff at Tobey.

I hope not either the extra stress was rough with my high blood pressure. I hope everything works out for you. And don't forget to walk, walk, walk the halls of Tobey Hospital. The gas is brutal but you won't be alone. Good luck.

I had to do 3 workshops before they would even send up the insurance request. I started the process in May. Sleeved August 19th. My last workshop was July 22nd I went in July 30th for my last Dr Visit he checked my approval and asked me to come in the next day. Of course that wasn't going to work but he was ready if I was. If the office has it together you can be done fairly quickly. I guess it depends on if you have to do workshops or not.

woo hoo your all set you should know by the time you do your last doctor visit. I was told surgery needed to be done within 30 days of the last doctors visit. I say give it two weeks before you start calling them. I kept calling because no one seem to know when my information was sent up. Mass health insurance kept saying they hadn't received a request. Like I said before the communication there sucks. Sounds like you should be good soon.
