Help! does anyone have BlueChoice of sc

Hi, I just got new insurance Blue Choice sc, I went through the whole process @ M USC a few years ago by was denied by Piggly Wiggly insurance, I finally have a new job with new insurnace and I realy want to  start over.  Can someone help me?  HAs anyone had the lap band surgury with Blue Choice SC?

I had BC/BS of NC , but it all depends on what exclusions your employer put on the insurance. Some people will have the same insurance company but the coverage will be different if your employer is a tightwad and doesn't want certain things allowed. So best bet is to  get your insurance info and call them and ask about it. Good luck! Mary

Hello, I have BlueChoice of SC with the state and they don't cover the Lapband. I'm having to appeal and fight right now with my empoyer and insurance company to get this over turned. NO luck yet.....

Hi, I have BlueChoice as a SC State Employee and they did not cover lap-band. I am self-pay. I am sorry I couldn't give you better news. I do know that some BCBS plans do cover but State Employee plan wouldn't. STB

thanks for the info, Im sure with my luck it will not be covered!  My dr swears she can get it approved with her letter writing but if its an exclusion, its an exclusion!  Good luck!

Thanks for the info, I'm pretty sure I will have to do the same!  please let me know what you had to do!  My dr is pulling hard for me, she writes a pretty good letter but I'm not sure that will work!  I hate to give up but I'm just lost as to where to begin my fight.  Good luck!
