Write to the OPM

BCBS federal denied my gastric bypass. I can write to the OPM within 90 days.
Has anyone ever wrote to the OPM for approval, any tips or ideas?

 Did they say why?  I was under the impression that BCBS federal was one of the easiest to get coverage from.  That's who I have, and I had no problems whatsover.  The ladies in the office at Innovative Weight Loss Solutions took care of everything for me....  Sorry you're going through this, stay at it and you'll get there.

They changed their requirements in 2011. One of them is you have to have BMI >40 for 2 years prior to surgery. Where is Innovative weight loss solution at? Im trying to go through Tallgrass in Topeka.

Wow, I'm shocked! I have BCBS FEP as well. I was denied initally also, but it turned out it was because the coordinator at the surgeon's office didn't send some very vital info. Once they did that, I was approved. Do you know the exact reason for your denial? That would be the place to start.
