Hi,
It's been a while since I last checked in.  Is there any one that finally got approved for the VSG, that has BCBS Federal Employee Program?

I'm waiting for my their decision on my appeal.  The reason for denial was "did not meet medical criteria".   

I did meet the medical criteria.  I asked for a more specific reason for the denial and I submitted a medical necessity from Dr. Broussard. 

I did self pay and I would like to get reimbursed.  Just checking to see if anyone else out there got approved or denied and for what reason if you were denied. 

Thanks.

Nope, I fought and lost.  I could wait 6 months for their 2nd decision, but decided to change my surgery to RNY.  People have fought and won, but I just didn't have the patience to wait.

It's been a real headache for me too.  You got to do what you got do.  I wish you the very best with your RNY. 

I'm going ahead and fight.
