Highmark BCBS



Recommended Posts

Does anyone with Highmark know if adjustments are covered? I tried calling them but no one knows what I am talking about

Called my doc office. CPT is S2083 and Diagnosis is 278.01 in case anyone needs it for adjustments. Waiting to hear back from insurance as to whether it is covered.

Did you ever fing out if fills are covered? I have my meeting with the nutritionist tomorrow and then hopefully everything will be sent for approval next week. So I am eagerly crossing my fingers. I also have Highmark BCBS so I am wondering what has been covered for other people. How long did it take for you to get your approval for surgery.

wow that is great I am so excited to hear this. I was looking at your stats and I am starting out just about where you were. Have you lost the 20lbs in less than a month or is that including pre-op loss too. Either way it is great you should be very proud.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
