BCBS HMO QUESTION

Hey all, If anyone has BCBS HMO of Massachusetts - could you tell me about what the process was? did you have write a letter or collect all your Weigh****chers books? I have heard many different versions. Anything that you tell me would be great! Thanks! Meg

Hi Meg. I have BCBS HMO and work there too. I just went to my surgeon, gave him my history and they went for the approval. HMO covers the surgery, considering BMI, co-morbi's... Good luck MaryLyn

Hi meg, I have BCBS, Hmo of Mass and I had no trouble with anything. My surgeon did all the work and once they sent the letter of medical necessity, I was approved within 3 days. The only time that I was in contact with them was at the beginning of the process, I wanted to know exactly what there requirements were, so I called. I suggest you do the same, it will set your mind at ease. Hope this helps!! Renee open rny 3/15/04 -25lbs
