BCBS denial

[Grahamco 9]

I have BCBS federal. I am trying to get a revision of gastric bypass originally done in 2004. They denied me because with the original surgery, I lost at least 50% of excess weight. My doctor did a peer to peer but still denied. Has anyone ever had this happen to them

Yes. Stop appealing and contact Lindstrom Obesity Advocates. They helped me get mine overturned.

How much did this cost

@glorious release is that Lindstrom Obesity Advocates just for BCBS?

Another option would be to self pay. Most people can qualify for a line of credit and then just lay it back over the next two years. I’ve known three people who did that so they didn’t have to deal with insurance and were able to schedule the surgery within two weeks.
