BC/BS Southern California



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Does anyone have BC/BS in Southern California that has gone through the Insurance song and dance and has been successful getting approved.

I had tried last year when my company went from Preudential to BC/BS and I chose an EPO plan. When I tried applying for the surgery through several doctors I was denied becasue they said that the EPO I was under didn't cover it. So I had to wait a year when I can change my plan to a PPO to re-apply. But I'm worried that I will still have the same problem so I wanted to know if anyone out there has had any sucess and can give me some suggestions.

Wish me luck. I need it to save my own ife.

Thanks

I have blue cross of southern california and it was easy as can be within 3 months of starting the whole process i was banded! and they were very fast in authorizing the surgery, i knew the day after my surgeon sent them all the paperwork that afternoon they called and told me i was approved, hopefully it goes as smoothly for you,where you trying to get banded?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing. Did you have the EPO or PPO plan?

I haven't decided where to go yet. You have any recomendations? How long ago did you get banded?

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
