Topic: BCBS Georgia
A little over 4 months ago, I went through the process of getting the lap-band surgery. I went to the meeting, got all the information and set up an appointment with the surgeon. The DAY OF my meeting with my surgeon, I get a phone call saying that my insurance does not cover Bariatrics. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia. After the phone call, I called BCBS to ask them what the heck was going on. We have a HIGH premium, so I figured since we pay so much (my parents that is) that it would cover it. BCBS repeatidly told me that bariatrics is excluded from our plan and that there was nothing we could do about it.
I need some advice. I have put this off for long enough and I am ready to do something about it. If this means switching insurance companies then so be it.
Someone please tell me what to do!

Topic: RE: WLS prevents you from getting health insurance ???
The other option is to get into one of the high-risk pools being set up as part of the health care reform. They are specifically for people who cannot get private insurance due to pre-existing conditions.

Topic: RE: Need help and/or advice
The first thing I would do would be to see if there is a competent in-network doctor that you can use and then have your records transferred. That would be the best option so that you are not stuck with all of the additional charges. Otherwise, I would contact your surgeon's office and ask a couple of questions - if they have any plan on becoming a network provider for this insurance and if they can recommend financing options.
Good luck!
