Pacificare help

[bluesea-lvr 0]

I was wondering if anyone has Pacificare, I have my last Dr. visit Monday and Tuesday I go to a seminar at the hospital but how long does it take after that?? If someone can help answer this for me I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks

Thank you, I have checked and they do cover it but I was just wondering how long it takes after the final visit with my Dr. I will have to wait...a month 2 months..a few weeks...I am attending a seminar Tuesday evening at the hospital where I will go for the banding but I don't know what happens after that...The hospital only requires the 1 seminar, at least that's what the lady told me that I talked to, and she wasn't very friendly so I didn't ask her too many questions. But the hospital was recommended by 2 Drs. So I picked it over Sacramento..I know each Dr. has his own procedures that he follows. I'm really anxious to get this done as I need to have another surgery on my shoulder and I want to get the LB done first...it has a quicker recovery than the shoulder...sorry to ramble on. I thank you for the info.

Hi,

I have PacifiCare HMO and was just banded on Wednesday. Currently, if it's covered by your policy, you will need to see the nutritionist and get the psych evaluation before you submit for the insurance approval. Once I did that, it only took about a week to get the approval.

Good luck to you!

Hi Debi,

I've already gone to the nutritionist and had the psych eval. Tuesday night I'm attending a seminar that the hospital requires for the LB, I'v done it all except the tests they require (blood etc.), so maybe I'm not too far off...thank you so much. How are you doing?

I'm still pretty sore, but getting better each day.

Thanks for asking!

I have Pacificare out of AZ. It took me only 2 weeks once the paper work was submitted for approval.
