Just wondering, not trying to be nosey....
I used to have Blue Care but at the end of the process I was switched to AmeriChoice. It took a little over a week to get my approval. BlueCare, I'm told is about the same. I had it for years and then my pcp changed so I had to. The requirements for surgery are exactly the same. The only delay that could happen is if all your info wasn't sent in. Give it a week and then start checking.

Thank you, I have actually got this man that works for Blue Care who has sorta took me under his wing and is trying to find out what exactly is going on. I am a little scared that I might get turned down but I don't know how. I weigh 261 I have high blood pressure, I have to take beta blockers to slow my heart down,I have a terrible back which is caused by my weight. My back surgeon told me if I would lose weight I wouldn't have to go through another back surgery and recently I have learned that I was developing RA. I am falling apart at the seams. But I'm just gonna have to wait,eventually they will give me a answer I just hope its approval. Thanks for telling me you situation. I'm glad everything worked out so well for you. Thanks for your encouragement it is appreciated.

Sonya,
They may be looking for proof that your obesity has disabled you. Do you ever use a cane, a walker or a wheelchair? Do you need special accomodations in any way? This was a big point according to the insurance lady at my surgeon's office, proving disability. I had been using a wheelchair for several years before I applied. I will say a prayer that you get approved. Try not to think negatively.
Blessings,
Karen

No I only had a brace for my back, can you believie it cost over $1000.00 for it. They said it was the same thing as a body cast. I started out with disability for epilepsy but had brain surgery that corrected that now I have disability for my back I am not able to do much at all. Again, Thanks for your prayers I do appretiate them and need them.
