Specific exclusion

My insurance company (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon PPO) has a specific exclusion in the policy that's worded: (in the exclusions section): "Treatment For Obesity Or Weight Control Surgery or treatment (including any later complications), even if you or your enrolled dependent has other medical conditions related to or caused by obesity. Specifically excluded are: gastric stapling or bypass procedures, weight loss programs, counseling, hypnosis, biofeedback, neurolinguistic programming, guided imagery, and other forms of relaxation training as well as subliminal suggestion used to modify eating behavior." Do I stand a ghost of a chance pursuing this? It sounds pretty airtight to me. Jan Hood

Sounds air tight to me too, but I would definitely contact an attorney. Give Gary Viscio a call. He posts on this board, and is post op himself. Fight the good fight! Roberta
