Does anyone have this ins and what was the process like? I know I don't need a referral and have already chosen my surgeon after attending a seminar.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield are two different companies in California. Which one do you have - Blue Cross of California or Blue Shield of California?

Anthem...sorry my card says BlueCross BlueShield but on the back it does say Anthem

That's strange. Generally (unless something has changed and in the insurance business, it always does), if it's BCBS and California, it's for federal employees. Otherwise, it's one of two separate companies - Anthem Blue Cross or Blue Shield of California.

I have Blue Shield of California, I was all set to give you their info. Sorry.
