Need help, got questions about BCBS RI

[thinatheart13 69]

Hello!

So far my doctor just sent in the package to my insurance company to wait to see if its approved or not. However intill then I was wondering if anyone has used BCBSRI before? What problems/sucess have you hade??I am living in denver, and so far they give no requirements for authorization besides a PCP. No classes, 6 months of dieiting or anything. this seems too good to be true. If it is true my tentative surgery date is for the 29th of February.

Everything went super easy with BCBS RI. I didn't even have to have 6 months of class, or recorded weight loss. I was amazed at the process.

I have BCBS of TX and they eliminated the 6 month supervised diet in Feb 15. Makes things go much quicker.
