Bariatric Surgery bill paid!

I checked my BCBS of MI website and my $28,000 (14,000ish after the hospital gave them a discount) bill was paid in full. 100%. No hassles. I almost cried.

I knew it was supposed to be covered but without a letter of pre-approval I worried... all they said when I inquired was that they informed the doctor that I met all of their requirements... I just had to go on faith and the surgeon's insurance specialist telling me that they would not have scheduled me if she was not sure... still I was apprehensive to say the least! 

Now... RELIEF and weight loss!
  YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My insurance paid 100% but was worried that they would not! It was a great feeling to find out they did! Congrats on not having a bill hanging over your head as you start your journey to the NEW YOU!!

yay for you!! That is awesome. My insurance paid not one penny of my surgery. But it's worth it.
So glad you don't have to worry about that!!
