my update(bcbsil)

[rgjujitsu 0]

Hi everyone! So my surgery is scheduled for next thursday the 28th. After the insurance coordinator submitted to bcbsil on a thursday I called on monday to check and they said they haven't received anything. So they actually called the center to tell them and the coordinator re-faxed everything. 2 days later I was approved! I have been on a liquid only diet for a few days getting ready for the surgery and have already lost 6lbs in 2 days. My advice to everyone trying to get approval is this: Don't assume anyone is going to do their job properly and be uber dilligent. I went to the center with my paperwork and went over every single page with the coordinator and even what order she was going to fax them. Glad I did because one key piece of info was missing, the page that had one of my weights from like 2003 had cut off where the nurse wrote the weight and I had to get a new copy(i was not going to leave anything to chance) then i called bcbsil every day and they finally said oh we never got the paperwork so I am glad I didn't just wait because i was told by them initially to wait the 30 days before I checked. Anyway that's my story...any questions?
