BC/BS anthem approved mine first time!

Just curious, what state? I just checked the Kentucky anthem policy and it still lists sleeve as investigational.

I had Blue Cross of CA, Anthem. Mine got denied twice and then I sent it for Independent Medical Review and it got overturned. I have a good appeal letter if anyone needs it, PM me. My surg is coming up Oct 15th!

Have Horizon in NJ. They just started covering in July. My Dr. has already had issues and has canceled some October surgeries. Hoping things are ok by November.

I have BCBS of IL (I live in TX) and I got approved the very first time it was presented to insurance. I was afraid it wouldn't because I have heard that so many insurance companies don't cover it because it is "new".
