Default Insurance question

I wondered if anyone out there has BCBS of North Carolina? That's what I have. My paperwork has not been submitted yet, but should be within the next week. If anyone has this type of ins., how long does it usually take to hear back from them? Do they require a 6 month suprv. diet? I'm anxious and want to know what I have to look forward to .

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Hi ya ! Honey call your insuance company and ask if you have the benefit for this surgery. Once they tell you yes ask for the critera you have to meet and write it down and date it along with the person you spoke with. Thats your first step. Then gather your information you need to have that you can do on your own. That way you can help your self. Good Luck Let us know how this goes. Take care
