riemgirl 7 Posted June 7, 2017 I'm just starting this process have my first appointment with the Surgeon on June 26th. I am trying to find out what the requirements that my insurance company has before surgery. I tried calling them and they said I will just have to ask my surgeon. I have Welmark BCBS of Iowa. Does anyone else have any experience with them? I just want to be able to prepare myself. I've seen anywhere from 8 weeks to 6 months of having to meet requirement and would like to have an idea of how long my process could take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
