BCBS of Nebraska

[CalsMom 0]

We have BCBS of Nebraska through my husband's employer. He called the customer service line for me a few weeks ago and asked about any bariatric surgeries being covered. Naturally, the answer was NO. But I do plan to go though the policy with a fine tooth comb this week and call with the procedure codes that are turned in by the surgeons I plan to use. At the seminar I attended last week, it sounds like the nurses really work hard with you on insurances. In the mean time, I was wanting to know if anyone out there had tried to utilize them for coverage of the lap band? I am very eligible for the sugery with a BMI of 43 and type II diabetes. Thanks!
