Sweet. I had called one from BCBS website, they wanted $180 for the initial consult, $175 per test (two tests required) plus $180 for the final visit.

The surgeons office gave me the name of a guy they use who is in Palm Beach Gardens, so I'm scheduled now for tomorrow AM. He said its $10 or $20 depending on my copay

Hey Chris... Can I ask what insurance you have and how soon did they give you the approval after the Dr submitted it?

Thanks

Absolutely! My insurance company is:

:P I have BCBS Florida (I think you do, too?) but my policy excludes bariatric. I work with my father (business owner) and my brother passed away after having RNY, so I'm not surprised he excludes it. He doesnt think highly of it. In fact, I wont be telling him until down the road that I had it.

Once I did my preop appointment, I had to do a private one with the surgeon and the office coordinator was able to schedule right away. They book out a month at a time or so. I did that in end of March maybe? Called back and scheduled a week or two later for the 26th

Had to have enough time to do about a months work of preop testing/evals, etc
