BCBS Bull

Feb 01, 2011

Normally I'm not so hard on insurance companies because I can see their side of things - but not this time! I have BCBS/NC, however, apparently since all the paperwork is done in SC - we have to go off of SC's requirements for WLS - which is VERY different than NC!

SC needs a 6month dr supervised diet where as NC only needs a letter from your PCP saying they agree and how the surgery will benefit you.

So now I'm at least 6 months away from surgery - when I was under the impression that after all my visits to the mirad of doctors I've seen for evaluations - I'd get to schedule my surgery this Friday.

Now I'm nervous. If I show weight loss - is the insurance going to deny the surgery because I can obviously lose weight by other means? If I don't lose weight are they going to say I was cheating or something and deny the surgery? Do I follow the doctors orders to the letter or do I mess up a bit?

AHHHHHHHH I am soooo NOT a game player! Why can't they just see that I NEED this surgery and say yes??!!

I'm feeling super depressed now.
