BCBS FEP in TX and very confused, need help ASAP.
Ok, so I have BCBS FEP and live in Texas does this mean that I must go to a designated "blue award winning" bariatric hospital or pay out-of-pocket/network fees? If I choose a doctor that is in network and a hospital that is also in network shouldn't that be enough? I'm so confused with the whole process, any help will be greatly appreciated. Did I fail to mention I am also just starting the whole process of getting an approval. I'm scheduled to go to a seminar in Jan. for more info. but I would like someone who has "been there done that" or just has expert knowledge in this matter.
Best Wishes to All waiting on Approvals!!

Hi wanting2Bthn,
Honey, I have BCBS FEP I live in Oklahoma City. I went with an out of network doctor for my VSG. Because I was told BCBS FEP would not cover the VSG, so I went with the doctor that I liked. I was cash pay. Although I went with a doctor out of network and the hospital too was out of network, I still got reimbursed for some to the charges. I'm in the middle of appealing to OPM as we speak. I want to get the whole amount reimbursed, I have read here on this website many other BCBS Fed got 100% coverage on their VSGs.
Best wishes to you too Darlin.
