PacifiCare HMO of CA anyone?

I was approved for a consultation with the surgeon, I have attended the informational seminar and I have consultation with the surgeon July 2nd. Can anyone tell me what to expect when dealing with PacifiCare?

In 2004 they paid for my Band. In 2005 they dropped the coverage in MY area. In 2006 they reinstated it. In 2007 they dropped it again.

We changed carriers to one that DOES cover the Band and follow-up care.

Good luck.

How long did it take you to get approved by Pacificare? I have that too, and they're asking me for all kinds of receipts--well, not them, but the physicians' group I'm with. It's been a real pain!

I have my consult tomorrow so the approval process is just begining for me. I was refered for a consult by my PC. It took about 2 weeks to get approval for consult only, and this was made very clear by the referal letter. I attended the informational meeting in May. I will keep you posted on the progress.
