How long did it take for you to get your answer on your 1st appeal with bcbs federal?  They told me it would take 30 to 31 days.

Had a revision from the Lap Band to VSG.  Loving the VSG.
BCBS Federal paid for the removal of the band, but denied the VSG.

I did self pay for the VSG and now appealing the denial on the VSG so that I can get reimbursed.


Thanks for replying

Ouch I didn't think BC/BC-FEP denied if you met the requirements...  

our initial apps were approved within 2 weeks.

Well they will approve for the RNY and Lap Band.  My surgery is the VSG.  It is a revision from a lap band to vsg.  I did met the requirements.  I guess I'll have to wait and see what they say.  It will be 30 days on Oct 22, just around the corner.  I'm just a little impatient.  Since, I had the surgery already on May 20, 2009.  I did self pay and now I'm asking for a reimbursement.

Thanks for replying.
