Topic: RE: BCBS/Fla-Anyone approved?
I didn't even try with them. I have my insurance through BCBSFL but WLS is also an exclusion in my employer's policy. My BMI was right around 40 and I knew I didn't have enough co-morbidities to even try to fight for coverage. A coworker of mine tried for her husband and his BMI was significantly higher and was denied. I don't know if they ever tried an appeal.
I also knew that when I made the decision, that I didn't want to go through the "hassle" with insurance. I scheduled a VSG in Mexico and had it done this past January.
Good luck with your efforts and there are some folks on the VSG board who have had to fight the "experimental" part of VSG in an insurance policy as well as being denied in general. <> Check out the Mexico board, too, to find out what some of your options might be.
Good luck, again :)

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
i have medicaid "share of cost". that means that they pay for anything over $1110 in one particular month. all i had to do was submit receipts and records showing any copays i paid during the month and that and the surgery fees are deducted from the share of cost. i only have to pay what the balance is. i ended up not having to pay even $1 for my surgery, because i have so many medications and docto copays every month.
