HELPP!!!

my company has switched insurance carriers on me! i had bcbs hmo blue, and am working with dr schneiders office, now they have switched to harvard pilgrim. i know bcbs said hey covered the lap-band, does harvard pilgrim? if anyonw has ANY info i would really appreicate it!! thanks erin

Erin don't worry, Harvard Pilgim is great. I got approved immediately even though my BMI is not 40. They cover the lap band too, and you will be fine. Good luck, Judy

Harvard Pilgrim is the BEST! They approved my band in less than 48 hours. Never heard of a denial - seriously. Caeli

I have Harvard and had no problems what so ever. My first letter was sent on Wed and by Friday noon I had my surgery date. It was that fast!! So far everything has been covered and I get my lap band next Thursday June 22nd. I'm very happy with the whole experience. Good luck to you Erin.

Although I do not have Harvard Pilgrim, my company did before I qualified for benefits. We now have Tufts. Harvard Pilgrim is rated #1 in the country. Tufts is #3 so Im not too disappointed we changed! I have never heard of one problem with Harvard Pilgrim! Take Care, Stephanie 227/192/140

I just wanted to thank everyone so much for your replies! They really made my day!! That is such good news!! Erin

HI Erin, I went thru the same thing with my co. Did you call Dr. Schneiders office to find out if they have ever had problems with Pilgrim? Remind me when your surgery is please. I got my date for the 18th of July and the insurance came thru within a couple of days. If you need any support just let me know we are not that far apart. Hugs, April
