Highmark BCBS


Does anyone with Highmark know if adjustments are covered? I tried calling them but no one knows what I am talking about

Called my doc office. CPT is S2083 and Diagnosis is 278.01 in case anyone needs it for adjustments. Waiting to hear back from insurance as to whether it is covered.

Question

Did you ever fing out if fills are covered? I have my meeting with the nutritionist tomorrow and then hopefully everything will be sent for approval next week. So I am eagerly crossing my fingers. I also have Highmark BCBS so I am wondering what has been covered for other people. How long did it take for you to get your approval for surgery.

I havent had my first fill yet but have been assured that it is covered. It took 3 hours for me to get my approval from Highmark

wow that is great I am so excited to hear this. I was looking at your stats and I am starting out just about where you were. Have you lost the 20lbs in less than a month or is that including pre-op loss too. Either way it is great you should be very proud.

I lost 8 pounds pre op and 12 pounds 2 weeks post op. For the last 2 weeks, though, I haven't lost a pound, but was told it is to be expected. I havent gained weight, so i am happy lol
