BCBS of Mississippi.

[vsgready 2]

I have bcbs of mississippi. I started my documented weight with my surgeon at 272. In December I weighed I at 258. Today I weighed in at 261. My doctor is submitting my information to bcbs of mississippi tbis week. I am worried that the 3 lb weight gain will cause a denial. Should I be worried? If I am approved how long will it take?

Worried. ...

dont worry...if your surgeons staff who talks to ins is well documented an have all your other health issues documented an phsyc passed an released you should be alright. I had so many dx's an my BMI was over 40.. I stayed on top of everyone. after 24 of submitting mine I called mine I also have BCBS an within 48 hrs after chart was reviewed I knew my answer (I called)...then I got my letter. as soon as I talked on phone with ins an got approval I called surgeons office an got my app to come in next day an I was put in the books! I had myself worked up! but I wanted this soo bad..best thing I ever done for myself! keep us posted!

Thanks so much. I have a bmi of 41.8. I have Osteoarthritis and a knee replacement. I am hoping for good news. Even with insurance I have spent so much time, money, effort. Changing my eatimg habits has been so beneficial. I am praying insurance review wont hold the 3 lbs against me.

And on top of it all. After I got home...I realized that I had my boots on when I got on the doctor s scale
