State of Delaware Health Insurance

Does anyone work for the State of Delaware and have BCBSDE and been approved for surgery?????  I'm soooo nervous about my insurance approval.  I have done everything the Dr's office has said I just hope it all works out.

I am also a State of De employee, I have only just begun with Cardio and Psyc appts done, and have Pulm scheduled for 10/12/09.  But I do have several people that work directly with me that have had lap & ryn and have had no problem with BCBS.  They all  had PPO, but I have IPA and have been in contact with BCBS several times and the only thing I can see that they are very particular about is the 6 months of attempted/documented weight loss attempt. Sounds like you will be fine!!  Keep me upadate on your progress, and know that you have fellow "co-worker" and friend to count on if you need to chat .

Thanks I appreciate your reply I have IPA as well.  Yeah I have done the six months of documented weight loss and St. Francis made it very easy to do.  Good luck on your journey! 

I am a state of Delaware employee. I had surgery April 5,2005 and had no problems. I have BC/BS PPO and went out of state.  You should be fine. Relax ! See you lighter. Joanne

I work for the State of Delaware I have BCBS IPA.  I had my surgery on June 1st. After my 6 months with PMRI and my clearance appointments I was approved the same day my packet was submitted! You'll be fine! The PMRI case manager Tina, is so helpful and is there for you if you have any questions about anything related to WLS.

While I don't work for the State of Delaware, I wanted you to know I had Dr. Peters and have had absolutely no problems since my surgery last November.  I think he's really great.......good luck!!!

Thanks for your kind words.  I love the CHRIAS office they are all very wonderful up there.

I got approved Early last WEEK having surgery FRIDAY!!!!!!!!  Can't belive it.
