Looking for people that have dealt with Anthem and Walter @Obesitylaw.com

As the title states, I'm looking to talk with anyone that has had experience with Anthem BC/BS Blue Access PPO and [email protected]. It appears that Anthem stop paying for WLS activies on my company's policy on 1/3/03. However, I'm hearing that they do cover it under other policies. So, I'm looking to hear from people with both positive and negative feedback. Has anyone been able to get an exclusion overturned? I'm also looking for feedback from anyone that has dealt with the folks at obesitylaw.com. What was you experience like?

Bob, if you don't get an answer here then you can post a message on the message board here or at IMNOTFATANYMORE.COM I know some one there should have an answer for you or at least some advice. Good luck in your journey.

bob my name is frank and i have dealt with bc/bs access. in nov 2002 i recievied a letter from bc/bs that i was preapproaved for the surgery. sometime after the first of the year, they changed their policy and they are no longer will cover it. i contacted them in may when i found out about the change and they stated to me they no longer will cover my surgery. i have hired an attorney and we are in the process of filing an appeal. i will let you know how things work out.
