Pending approval, stressed waiting

[bvenegas 89]

Thanks in advance for listening. I finished all requirements for HMO Blue Cross-CA (3 month weight monitoring plus all the extras) and papework will be submitted today/tomorrow. My only concern is 1 out of 3 of the weight checks the doctor only wrote basic info like weight, vitals, and stated consult was for weight check. He also has down all the testing he submitted and the referral, but no notes like i have been trying to loose weight for x amount of time, ect... has anyone gone through this? I'm stressed that they will reject. The 2 & 3 visit have great notes, so that makes me feel somewhat better, my BMI is 47, but no other issues.

I had my final consult with my surgeon yesterday and I am in the same boat as you. She told me not to worry because she doesn't think that there will be any problem with the insurance approving it. I think the doctors write things up in a way that helps make it easier to get insurance approval.

Update: the Coordinator didnt feel good about submitting paperwork due to lack of notes, so I will be getting an amendment from doctor. Monday paperwork will be submitted and I will then feel confident. So anothone reading this, if you dont feel comfortable about any step of the process, speak up and do what makes sense for you.
