I talked to my Dr and she says she would recommend WLS for me, so I have her support. I called my insurance and they say they don't cover WLS. I have Blue Cross-Premera PPO Can anyone tell me the next step to proving its medically neccessary? I have diabetes due to my weight, along with sleep apnea, constant bladder infections due to the diabetes. Like many of you I have tried all the diets and gyms, and my wieght goes up and down. At my largest was 300 pounds @ 5'5, currently I worked myself back to 270 but its an everyday struggle. I just want to be healthy again :confused2: -
Im looking for info, any of you that could help it would be greatly appreciated. I want WLS, Im 41, 5'5 275 I have diabetes, sleep apnea, and other issues. My Dr says she would reccomend it if I can get my insurance to pay. I called my insurance and they said they dont cover WLS. Where do I go from here? Can I appeal? how do I do this?
