Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I joined this group a while back, but then was so depressed about my inquiry to the insurance company, I decided not to even participate. I was given a referral by my internist about a year ago. When I called the office of the doctor to whom he had referred me, his assistant said that I could not be seen unless I got approval from my insurance company for the procedure. Fine. So I contact my insurance company, as well as the benefits office where I work, and was told flatly that the surgery was not one of my benefits. Geez, they're paying a lot of money to keep me fat. I am beginning to wonder now if there wasn't some trick. Like maybe I didn't ask in the right way, or maybe I wasn't holding the phone in my left hand when I was talking to them. I've got BC/BS PPO - I thought that was one of the best health insurances around. Is there something special I need to know or do when I ask next time? catbooker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
