From the first time you saw the doctor... how long did it take you to have the surgery and what was the process? |
I have BC/BS Federal Iowa. I was approved very quickly. My BMI was over 40 with no co-morbidites. If you have co-morbidities the BMI can be less. BC/BS Federal is VERY good insurance for this surgery.
I have always obtained copies of my doctor visits so I just wrote a note explaining my weight problems through the years and included doctor's notes showing my weight and I was approved within a couple of weeks after submitting everything. I pray you do as well.
One of the ladies at the insurance company said, "You are so lucky to have this insurance. They take very good care of their people."
