Wonderful! BC/BS and Me!!
I am the one that posted yesterday on the main board about BC/BS doing a "pre-certification" prior to surgery -- not a "pre-approval".
Well, I don't care what they call it, but Norfolk Surgical Group called this morning about 11:30 and I am HAVING SURGERY NOVEMBER 24!!
Yes, that is the day before Thanksgiving!!
I had my psyc eval yesterday from about 3 p.m. until about 5 p.m. The doctor e-mailed the Bariatric Program Coordinator that I was a good candidate for surgery. Norfolk Surgical Group then ask for pre-certification from BC/BS. They received pre-certification this morning and Becky from Norfolk Surgical Group called me about 11:30.
If I heard correctly, Becky said the pre-certification took about ten minutes.
Believe me, I am heart sorry about some of the challenges faced with insurance approval. But, I am ssssoooo very excited about the prospect of surgery in November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
