Hi All, Does anyone know if BC/BS MA cover any plastics?  I know there are other states where they do so I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them....

I was denied twice for a TT.  It could have been covered if I had documented rashes and things.  You have to have lost 100 pounbds and be at a stable weight for at least 6 months.  You can go on their website and find what their guidlines are.  Good Luck!  I ended up paying for a LBL out of my own pocket.

Thanks for the information.  If you don't mind me asking (and if you do, I understand) about how much is that?  I just had a BL/BA and had to pay out of pocket as expected, but I do believe that my next step is a much needed LBL.  I haven't lost 100 pounds as of yet and I am two years out, but it is my goal to lose another 30 pounds at that point, I will be at my goal weight. Thanks again.... Kim

Kim I paid $7,500 for my LBL whi*****luded all fees including  surgeon, OR and ansthesia fees.  My 2 nights at the hospital were covered because I also had a hernia repair.  Good luck on your weight loss and the next step of your journey. Janet

If you go to their website in the search bar put in 068 and scroll down to page 17 it is there :) Meri

I have BC/BS of MA (PPO) and they covered the abdominal work.  I've heard it depends on the plan and that PPOs are more lenient than HMO versions.  It certainly can't hurt to try ! Good luck, Suzanne
