submission for approval

OK everyone...wish me luck...Dr. Morton's office submitted my claim yesterday and said they would contact me in 48 hours with an update...She didn't say they would definitely know something that soon but it was possible...She said she would call me weekly with an update until we hear something...I am so nervous...I am sure I will be denied...isn't that the insurance co job...Pray for me please...fingers crossed..anything that might help...

Good Luck, You'll get approved.   I just joined this site over the weekend.  I am still in my pre-surgery weight loss stage and feels like it taking forever.   How long have you been working on the pre-surg list of things, including lossing the 10%?   Please give me any pointers you have to get through the last few pounds. My goal is the last 6-8 pounds by the end of January then I can schedule my appointment for the consultation with Dr. Morton as well.  Another friend went the week before Christmas and her claim was submitted, but she is still waiting as of yesterday.  Is your insurance BCBS of TN??

Fingers crossed for a speedy approval. Ellen

Hey Ellen did you ever find out anything more on your appeal...did you get my pm

Everything is crossed that I can possibly cross, and that ain't much.  I'll do the best I can.  Just remember that you will be fine, and you will be approved. Hugs to Ya Barb

Positive thoughts coming your way.

Good luck to both of you. Dr. Morton is also my doctor. They get things approved pretty fast, if I can remember it was just about 3 weeks that everything was approved then they set the surgery up very quickly after that.  You wil like Dr. Morton, he is very good!!!

Also, if both of you want to hang out on the lap-band forum it is very informative.

Hey, Good luck with everything...I have Humana and they do not require a 10% but I am sure they will find something I need to do

Good Luck Chrissy! Everything is crossed! Freddie
