My doctor took care of everything. They called me and notified me.

I am going through the new start program and haven't seen a dr yet. Not until i get approval, but have done all the test psch eval ,letters from my drs. Guess i will just have to wait to hear from them, i just thought the claim forms they sent me with no explanation was kinda weird. Wonder if they want me to fill them out , give to dr??

I also have BCBS NJ. I did not get an insurance packet or claim forms for BCBS. The only thing I got from insurance was a packet of denial. I received that after my surgeon already called me to tell me about the denial. I filed an appeal. I received a letter from the insurance company that I am now approved - the denial was reversed. Maybe you should ask your Dr. about the forms.

I will be on the phone first thing monday mornin. When you got your denial letter what was the reason and how do you go about the appeal? If they deny me I will appeal asap.

BCBS of NJ are "sticklers". I had my approval in 3 three days. They called me and sent an approval letter. I know they definitley want to see documentation that you've been cleared by a pulmonologist, cardiologist, psych doctor and had the nutrition classes (6 consecutive months). If you've done all that and your BMI is over 40 they usually always give approval, but they are strict with the documentation!! Good Luck to ya!!
