BCBS Fed Employee Insurance - How long did you have to wait for your approval on your...

Just wondering how long will it be until I get my answer from them for my revision from the Sleeve to RNY?

I live in Oklahoma. This is going in as a medical necessity due to my hiatal hernia severe acid reflux. Since this is November would like to have my surgery before the year ends.

Just updating: My doctor's office sent off my paper work to BCBS Federal on 05 December, I was approved for my revision from Sleeve to RNY on Dec 14, 2017. My surgery was scheduled December 27, 2017.

Hello,

did you have any denials along the way? I have Highmark BCBS and am seeking a bypass after my band had to be removed. I was told some dx code from testing for lapband failure or the band removal itself triggers my "one per lifetime bariatric benefit" as used!?! I didn't have this insurance when I got my band.

any info helpful,

thanks!
