Anyone had blue cross blue shield PPO and got approved

From everything, in Ks, I've found, BCBS will not cover anyone for wt loss surgery, unless it is the govt subscribed. Doesn't make much sense to me....but what I've gathered. I was cash pay and told not to turn anything in, cause if they even suspect it, then anything remotely possible of having to do with wt loss surgery, they will deny.

I have BCBS of IL and was approved in two days. Not government subscribed. Private company, my husbands company insurance. Had my surgery last Wednesday and my first appointment with surgeon was June 18th.

Hello Thanks for answering my question I have called and asked they say they don't cover it at all but I have a family member with the exact same insurance and she had her done a yr ago

I'm new to the whole insurance stuff and not really understanding it yet ????

If you see someone like the therapist or labwork or anything that surgery might ask you to do, if the bill gets submitted to insurance and they have any idea that you had wt loss they can deny it because they assume it's related. I just paid for everything out of pocket, the surgery, the therapist, etc so not to cause any problems.
