My bcbs guidelines for bariatric surgery are different than the ones posted. I'm not at home, but I can post mine tomorrow when I am.

It seems like every office is different in their requirements too. I never got a booklet that said it was an insurance requirement. That's strange. Especially since we both have BCBS.

Not all BCBS insurance companies will have the same requirements. For example, BCBS In one state is not the same company as BCBS in another state. And not all plans issued by the same insurance company will have the same requirements. So an H MO within BCBS CA will likely have different requirements than a PPO plan. There may not even be the same requirements between PPOs from the same company. Unless you have exactly the same insurance plan with exactly the same insurance company, you can't really compare.

Yes. I know. And at the time didn't realize they weren't even in the same. I saw a response from a different person and thought I was responding to them, so thanks for your input.
