I use to ask questions like this all the time The most common answer you'll get is to give your insurer a call, and/or read your insurance handbook.

Hi three beauties! No I did'nt get your message. I am computer challanged! I'm still trying to navigate this.....Would you mind sending me a message again. I would like to hear what your experience has been with HMO Blue. They sent me their policies and it looks like it's covered...if so how strict are they about proof of weight loss programs? I meet all the other requirements. Thanks again. My email is Vanaz94@comcast.com

I'm from MA and have HMO Blue. I'm waiting to hear the go ahead from the insurance co. My Dr. says there should be no problem getting them to paying. I have enough health issues to make the happy I guess. Dr. Kelly out of U-Mass, Worcester is going to do it. I should get the word with in the new 2 weeks.

HMO Blue Value paid for my surgery as I was over BMI of 35 and had Hypertension. They also pay for a BMI over 40. I did have a $500 deducitble that I paid for the hospital stay. Not too shabby...
