Guest guest Posted August 26, 2000 Report Share Posted August 26, 2000 Found out late Thursday that BC/BS of Georgia POS had approved me for out-of network. I called back on Friday to see if I could apply for in-network, cause no one in-network does MGB. The very helpful lady, said that she was sorry, but no. I then called their customer service number to find out exactly what my benefits are and found out that BC/BS will pay 70% after a $500 deductible. They also said there is a $1500 max out of pocket. So, it seems that even though they pay 70%, because there is this max out of pocket it's like they pay closer to 90%. Yee-haw. I can live with that. Not quite as good as paying everything, but hey, I think I can come up with $1500. Especially if it means saving my life. Here's my plan of action -- I'm going to try to schedule clinic for September 19 and then schedule surgery for later in September or early October. I need time after the surgery to make absolutely sure this is what I want to do. I've already met with my PCP, so after the clinic I will put my package together and then keep all my fingers crossed that Dr. R accepts me. I'm getting excited. Love all of the " after " pictures. Looks like you post ops are doing great. Lost of hugs, Maggi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
