mrscherry2010 14 Posted October 2, 2014 I'm just starting my journey and was wondering what BCBS and Medicaid's requirements are to be approved? Also what kind of out of pocket costs, if any, might there be. Any info is greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rdelly01 25 Posted October 2, 2014 Hi I have BCBS Michigan .... They required a 6 month medically supervised diet, also I had to do a stress test and sleep study ( I can't remember if that's required from insurance or physician) I called BCBS and my surgery is covered at 50% and 100% after my max out of pocket has been reached My max out of pocket is $5,000 a year. So I can be responsible for up to $5000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
