GOOD MORNING!!

I have spoken to my pcp and he is ordering me to go to the University of Iowa for testing of my lap band to make sure everything is okay because of the complications I am having.

However, I am in the process of looking into BC/BS of Illinois for insurance.  I currently have United Healthcare but our plan does not cover WLS so when I had the band I did self-pay. Now as I am contemplating moving to a different insurance I am hoping that I may have some options here!

Does anybody know if when you have BC/BS of Illinois what specific plan does cover for WLS???!!! I AM BUYING THE POLICY....HENCE WHY I AM CONCERNED!! :-(

I really am curious and wondering if anybody on this forum would know or be able to help me out on this.  I would greatly appreciate it!!

PLEASE HELP!!  I'm at my wit's end and between fighting the band, doctors and insurance....I just want to get back to the road of weight loss for my health!!

thanks for the help and for listening!!
