Hello BUCKEYES!!!!!!! I'm in the process of approval for a "sleeve". I have Fed employee BCBS. They require a BMI of 40 or 35 with co-morbidities. My BMI is 38 and I'm diagnosed with hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), Impaired Fasting Glucose (pre-diabetes), and PCOS. I'm wondering if anyone has had insurance approval for such co-morbidities. Thanks.
WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Your best bet is to call your insurance yourself and find out what comorbities they consider and what they will not. Every policy is different it's all in how each company writes it.
GOOD LUCK,
Robin
