I've been turned down twice because it is investigational. My insurance is Capital Blue Cross (Central PA).
I would appreciate any advice from Vicki B or anyone else who appealed successfully.
Thank you.

I WAS DENIED TWICE BY IBX FOR THE VSG. Same thing investigational.
As far as my surgeon office said they have not seen one approved for IBX
ever.

I turned in my 2nd appeal last week. In it, aside with other research, I told them I was prepared to take them to court. Hopefully the will decide to let me have the less expensive surgery rather than pay for a court fight.
