vanesav 0 Posted September 6, 2005 Well, I've Finally Finished With All My Pre-ops And I Finally Got A Date For My Surgery (9-19-05). Now The Wait Is On My Insurance Approval, Hopefully I Won't Be Denied. I'd Hate To Have To Wait Any Longer For This Surgery Cause I Am So Anxious To Have It Done And Be Part Of Lapband Gang. Does Anyone Have Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield? If So, Please Let Me Know If They Are Easy To Approve For Lap Band Surgery. My Surgeon, Dr. Chaudry, Says He Believes It Won't Be A Problem With Insurance And That I Should Have A Reply Within A Week From Them, But Just The Waiting Is So Stressful. Anyway, If Anyone Has Any Feedback On Empire B/c B/s, Please Advise Me. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotLikeHer 0 Posted September 7, 2005 I have Empire BCBS and I was approved with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!!!!!! It was soooo easy. I had an awesome case manager that I talked to. and she approved me verabally as long as the stuff she got over the phone..from the Dr's office and if he said he would do the surgery... That was the easiest part of all of it.. As long as your work doesnt have an exclusion.... Good luck!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
