BCBS of illinois!



Recommended Posts

I have bcbs illinois but haven't had my surgery yet...but it depends on what your plan covers...my plan covers 90% after the deductible of 2500 has been met

No I'm waiting on approval..but I have sleep apnea and a BMI of 46.2 so I'm not really worried about it not being approved...I was just stating that your plan will tell you if you have any out-of-pocket cost...mine will be 10% of whatever the costs are

I'm not sure I think they'll bill me after looking at other claims they didn't charge upfront

It cost me about $2,200.00 you can pay the day of your surgery or after or if you have to make payments to the hospital.

But that all depends if you have no problems and don't have a long hospital stay.

It is going to vary by plan. The plan I had last year, I had met my deductible through pre-op testing so my surgery didn't cost me anything.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
