Update on my BCBS of Alabama predetermination

Beth I am so glad to know this. You have been on my mind all week. I recieved my insurance packets ( I got to choose between BCBS and another company) I went straight for the exclusions. This BCBS plan will pay for one WLS per lifetime if deemed medical necessary. Im sure your plan says the same thing. I know if you were at Bryce or with the state in another facility, they would approve it without question. Im sticking with BCBS, I may have to pay out of pocket for my next visit but my yearly checkup will be covered under my new plan. I just can not afford almost $700.00 for COBRA. My insurance is good until October and my new plan starts Nov. 1, so I can manage a few weeks but your defintely in my thoughts and good wishes. Hang in there! Sandy
