I have Horizon Nj Health thru NJ Family Care kinda like medicaid. How hard was it to get approved for WLS. I want the DS.

Nj BCBS  Horizon approved my DS after a policy change in 2006.  You have to read the actual policy for the Family Care and make sure WLS is not excluded.  What's you BMI?  Any co-morbidities?  Do you have a surgeon you want to use yet, and does he/she accept Horizon?
    Good Luck on this journey....     Mary C
