Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has BC/BS insurance through  Roseburg Forest Products and has had surgery approved. Thanks!

I don't have it through Roseburg Forest, but I do have BC/BS and got approved without any issues. Good luck!

Hi,
I have Roseburg Forest Products, BC/BS,  and NO they do not cover surgery, sure wish that they did but they did not when I had my surgery Nov 07. 2006.  I had to self pay, and I am still paying.  i would do it again in a heart beat!  
  I have lost 118lbs and have gained and lost and gained some and lost.   I had my surgery though Dr. Tersingni in Coos Bay as well, he is just wonderful.  We have a support group in Roseburg at Parkway Medical supply next to McDonalds if you would like to joy us, wheather you have had your surgery or not.  Great group of people men and women,  
If you need more info just let me know.

The only way to really know is to call the number on the back of your medical card and ask the insurance rep. My BC/BS (not RFP) in Roseburg covered the surgery in March, 2010. There were actually two BC plans and I switched to the one with more liberal policies re: WLS during the open period in December. Sometimes even with restrictions on the policy they will go for it if there are multiple comorbidities and letters, lab work, etc is available to show it would be cheaper to treat the obesity than all the individual problems. I wish you luck. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
