first consult on Aug 22

I am getting real nervous I hope I can get approved.I want to have it done lap. instead of open.I can't afford to be off of work that long.I don't have any major health issues yet except aches and pains (alot of them).I have BCBS/Welmark and I don't have alot of medical documated diet paperwork.Well I better go .I will write after Friday.Wish me luck!!

Good Luck Bobbi! Please do keep us posted. Look to the left of the page and click on where it says insurers. Then scroll thru until you find the same insurance that you have. (isn't there many different types of BC/BS?) There should be some info for you there and maybe someone will see your post and be able to help. Good luck! (Fingers crossed for ya!) Elizabeth

Bobbi, good luck at your consultation on Friday. This is the first step and I know how much you are looking forward to it. We'll be anxious to hear how it went. Gail

Bobbie, I have BC/BS Alliance select and I was apporved within 2 days of the time they received the letter from my pcp. If your Dr submitts the forms with everything in the right place i dotted etc etc you shouldn't have any problems.. But I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer or two for ya ...Take care and don't worry tooo much... Sheila

Hi! Im happy to hear about your consult. I also had BC/BS Alliance Select and my surgery was approved the same day the paperwork was received. I am sending a special prayer your way for you! Good luck and please keep us posted!
