Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO of Georgia/Gastric Sleeve

[wablue31 29]

Hello. I am new to all of this and I just did my seminar and want to start the process in having surgery. I have read that BCBS of Georgia PPO doesn't approve the sleeve surgery. Has anyone with the this insurance plan had a problem with getting approved for the sleeve? My bmi is over 40 btw.

Usually when an insurance company excludes something for example, the sleeve there is no way of getting around the exclusion. You could always call the insurance company to get the exact requirements and exclusions.
