anyone have BCBS of NC insurance?

[Glamgirl 63]

hello all, I am new to this forum and live in North Carolina . my first consultation was in November 2017 , I am in pre-op status now... I ahve finished all the stuff on the checklist...I just have the endoscopy to do and then we submit everything to BCBS of NC for approval ... hoping I do not have to wait 12 months ... I have been working with my primary doctor for 2 plus years, trying medical diets, etc... and she has vouched for me and has provided me with her letter of recommendations and all the documentation stating my attempts of dieting. I am wondering if this can count towards the 12 months so I don't have to wait.. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Hi glamgirl,@fireman in Greenville will be so,happy to see another North Carolinian on here. Where in that beautiful state are you located? My daughter and her husband lived for a short in Roanoke Rapids in Halifax County. I hope your stuggles,with BCBS are small and over soon. I'm in Central Ohio and will,have RnY within the next 6 weeks. I've done a lot of studies and would be happy to be a resource person for you on this journey. Sunny Days and a Bright,Future for you.

Waiting to hear the results of this as well. My friend is interested and has BCBS of NC as well. Yes another North Carolinian. I can’t be of help as I am paying for mine. This is interesting as my doctors office told me insurances don’t cover DS. However I’ve seen a couple people in the forum they have had theirs covered by Insursnce-United Health Care. Anyway good luck! P
