ALSO I HAVE BCBS If you can prove its affecting your life medically, physically or psychologically, they may cover it. Just telling them won't do it, you'll have to go to a doctor and prove it.

jarchuleta 20 Posted November 26, 2012 Most insurance companies WILL NOT touch it. However, there is an awesome hospital in Mexico that comes highly recommended, I know 4 people recently and a fifth getting done in June. about 25% of what it costs here, beautiful resort, husband can go and enjoy. They pick you up at San Deigo airport.....http://hospitaljerusalem.com.mx/ My fgriend had both her sleeve and skin done there. I am going in September.....payments through paypal so it is all guaranteed. American doc too.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted November 26, 2012 It all depends on your insurance. Your best chance of getting approved is having at least 100 pound weight loss and 6 months of doctor documented rashes due to the excess skin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
