TinaM8 9 Posted March 21, 2013 Congratulations !! I have BCBS/TX also. I would have to gain 25lbs before they will approve me and then I assume they still may not so that is a huge decision to make. Plus I seem to have a VERY STEEP deductible at $6000 !!! OUCH! Not sure how to find out of I would have to pay the whole amount or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure how to find out of I would have to pay the whole amount or not. Wow that is pretty steep. My yearly deductible for the family was 2500.00 and I have met it so the surgery is 560.00. Did you find out if you can have a lower bmi if you have co morbidity problems and qualify? My bmi is 37. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
