loretta\ Baconton Georgia 10 Posted November 28, 2011 I have BCBSI. You need to contact the insurance companies and let them look to see if it is excluded on YOUR policy because not all plans cover it within a company.. Alot has to do with your employer.

k9momma56 1 Posted November 28, 2011 I have BCBS of Florida as I work for the state.I had surgery 8-23-11. Up to then mine covered it with a 6 mos physician supervised weight loss program,a BMI over 40,overweight for at least 5 years with documentation from a dr,have tried previous weight loss attempts with dates & amount loss each time, yada yada yada.Even though I am paid thru the state I work for the Dept of Health. I know that Georgia state plan is trying to eliminate it from their policy.Your husband needs to check with his HR manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
