Bcbs Mi

What a pain for you! If only people would DO THEIR JOBS! But at least you got an apology from them, and like you said who knows how long it would have gone on. I can't take credit for the info. I learned it from here too.

OK. Now. I read and re-read the BC "policy" that I printed off their website, and NOWHERE in their criteria does it have any time frame for being on a supervised diet! The 12 month diet requirement thing was in my paperwork from the bariatric surgery seminar I went to back in August. And everyone has been posting about it so I assumed I would have it. My policy shows a review date of 11/07 and effective date of 1/1/08.

But (and a big butt too! lol! ) , just because its not written in the policy, doesn't mean they won't require it of me? Or maybe I'm just being paranoid. Its a good way to kill time until my appointments :frown:

My surgeon appt is next Wed, my dietition appt is next Thurs, my psych appt is Fri of the following week.

Are you talking about the Sparrow Hospital in GR, MI? I'm in N Mich.

I think its no coincidence that we are called "patients" ha ha

No, Lansing. It is an act of patience, isn't it? Your best bet is to call and have them spell out the criteria for you. I'm amazed how different the policies can be; even within the same insurance company. Good luck with all of your testing! That part does go fast! :party:

Wow, you're on here early! My sister in law & hub live in Lansing. I'm near Traverse City. Thats where we "country folk" have to go for pretty much everything. Good luck to you too.
