Has anyone else had any problems with BCN?

Between BCN and my family doc this whole process is way more stressful than it should be......LOOSING MY MIND!

What kind of problems, may I ask?



So I did my 6 month through my family doc. Well she had it under supervised diet. Didn’t work it as weight management. So they initially denied it. Then my surgeon did a peer to peer and had her hand write them out on the sheet for the insurance. Which she did. But the first time she didn’t sign them. Then by time they got them back to her and she sent them back there was one missing. Now they finally have them and the insurance is either dragging their feet or just denied it again. I really don’t have a clue. So between them being super picky down to the verbiage and my doc office this is getting super stressful. And I’m supposed have everything lined up for surgery on Wednesday. Feels impossible. I just want answers

Did you call the insurance and ask them directly. What it is exactly they want ? I would then you can compare with nurse what is missing

Take a deep breath and remember we are all jumping through hoops to be healthy. I am going through Louisiana Medicaid and United Healthcare 🙄

@mamaddot that is likely due to the state of LA not reimbursing physicians at a decent rate and delaying reimbursements, and physicians getting tired of the jerking.

Figured I would come on and update everyone. The insurance denied my surgery with my doctors written out 6 month sheets. So I have to redo my 6 month then can try again. My 6 months will be up Aug 8th of this year so I should be able to get it approved then. I will be doing all my visits with my surgeon this time.

IF by chance you want to follow my journey I have been documenting it through youtube. My channel name is Fat 2 Fab.

      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.
