Are you talking about Horizon BCBS in New Jersey? Or Horizon in New York?

Either one is pretty band-friendly, as long as you qualify medically. Where are you in the process?

Horizon is BCBS, and yes, they are very band-friendly. If you're medically qualified, Sweetness, you should be golden!

Sparkling, generally speaking if the surgery was covered then fills are covered, at least to a certain point. (One year? Five adjustments? It probably varies.) Fills are an integral part of the overally treatment, and if the treatment was approved they will be too.

But each carrier has its own procedures. Your doctor will know precisely how to code the procedure and submit the claim for maximum coverage. And I'll bet a lot that he has an insurance specialist just for that.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
