Guest guest Posted September 26, 2001 Report Share Posted September 26, 2001 Hi Babs, Welcome to our group. The BC/BS you are referring to is it a HMO or PPO? I have BC/BS of Oregon. I already had the DS approved and paid for by PacifiCare of Washington. My BC/BS became effective post-op and they will not cover anything pertaining to WLS. I now need a hernia repair and tummy tuck. I am not sure I will be able to get them to cover this. Do you know if your BC/BS will cover the DS for you? To anyone else out there. What does my new surgeon need to put on paper to get insurance to cover the tummy tuck? Thank you, Angels hover ever near, A big Thank you! I just want to say THANK YOU to all that replied to me and made me feel welcome in the group. I feel loved already. I'll sneak my two cents in every once in a while. I'm at a stand still in my fight at this point. Open enrollment for Blue Cross Blue Shield is not until November, they won't even send me an application yet. I thought I would call now, get the application filled out and sent back so I could be covered by Nov 1st, BUT NOOOOO, that would be too easy for them. They would rather have me waste more time. I need to chill but with my pain and personality, its tough. Okay, I'm done. I feel better, I vented. Thanks again everyone! Babs in Balto. Hoping and praying for a DS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
