Insurance question



Recommended Posts

I am new on here and I have recently decided to have sleeve surgery.

I am covered through Local Government BCBS in AL. When I called they said I didn't have to be pre-approved but it had to be deemed a medical necessity. There would not be a wait time on their end. Has anyone been told this before?

My next step is to go to the seminar (2/07) before I make an appointment with my surgeon. I figured I won't know for sure about the insurance until I see the surgeon.

I have BCBS in AL. They told me it would be six months before I could be approved for surgery. There is a list of requirements I have to do before I can be approved. You should learn about the insurance at your first seminar. Hope this helps!
