Hi,
just thought I would pop in and update anyone who is trying to find an answer from HIGHMARK BLUE CROSS BLUE SHEILD ADMINISTRATOR FOR
Alcoa plant in Ferndale Wa.
I just got the big answer that in order to apply for the insurance, I would have to meet all the comorbidities (no problem) be over 50 bmi for the VSG, (no problem) ...AND a 6 month Dr, assisted monitored diet to prove how I lose weight!!
Now, does it make sense they just payed 42.000 to replace my right hip due to osteoarthritis and if I don't get the weight off quickly, will end up having to
do my left hip too?
I can't beleive that none of the weight loss from Jenny Craig, weight watchers, nutrition center etc. count towards proof!
If I was an alcoholic, drug addict, they would spend thousands helping with that issue.
If I wanted viagra, yep they would cover that....
Hummmmm, guess that's how it goes!!
