rensan65 0 Posted August 14, 2008 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.

frenchvanilla 0 Posted August 14, 2008 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?

rensan65 0 Posted August 14, 2008 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
