Denied! Horizon BCBS of NJ
Horizon BCBS of NJ has denied my request for VSG. They believe it to be experimental. I knew this and plan to appeal, but I have a question.
Why do some BCBS plans cover the VSG and others do not? Either BCBS considers it experimental or they don't. Can I use this argument as part of my appeal? Also, I do know of at least one instance where Horizon BCBS of NJ covered the VSG. How do I include this in my appeal? Do I have to name names? Any advice or info is appreciated!
Thanks!
