Any teachers on this board...

...with the State of MS Blue Cross/Blue Shield AHS insurance?  I'm trying to help my mother find out if her policy will cover WLS and I just can't find a thing about it on the net.

Hi,
I'm not a teacher but I have the same insurance...

I copied this from the web, but it is also in her benefits booklet.

30.	Weight reduction programs or treatment for obesity including any Surgery for morbid obesity or for removal of excess fat or skin following weight loss, regardless of Medical Necessity, or Services at a health spa or similar facility.

I am a retired state employee with the MS BCBS insurance. I had my surgery three years ago and the insurance did not cover a dime of the surgery. I was a self-pay client.
