Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted January 28, 2013 Although there are plenty of people with BCBS the plans differ according to your employer. You can call your benefit administrator at your HR, or go to the website or look at your benefits manual. I can't stress enough each Employer is different and requirements vary. When I first started looking into it, I was confused, so I find sometimes it's best to go strait to the source. It will save you from a Huge Headache.

Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted January 29, 2013 I was not talking about you being covered, I was talking about your specific plan requirements in regards to BMI co morbidities and if you needed a supervised diet. These are things that differ from plan to plan, It wont hurt you to call. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
