Open Season for Federal Govt Employees Insurance

Any Govt workers out there?  I'm trying to find out if anyone know which if any of the Insurance plans covers the reconstruction surgery (lower body lift) after WLS.  I looked at the OPM website since it is open season but it will take forever to go through each plan. I know about checking each plan, but that it very time consuming.   Just thought I'd ask if anyone has had theirs covered.  I have BCBS who say they will cover it if medically necessary - tough to get a Dr to sign off on that.

I don't think any will cover a LBL.  BCBS FEP has covered some co-workers' tummy tucks as "medically necessary" but they had to produce a doctor's justification for it.

Thanks Emelar, that was the kind of information I was hoping to find here.  Do you know your co-workers well enough to ask them what the justification was or if that makes you uncomfortable - would you ask them if they would correspond with me and "help a fellow WLS grad??" with BCBS.  If I had an idea what verbiage worked with BCBS, I could ask my Dr to write the same for me.  Thanks again for your help. 

I know with one it was documentation of rashes and skin break down.  She'd had a long history of it even before WLS.  I think it was similar with the other, although she didn't have the same long history.  Most of the time, I swear it's an issue of which caseworker at the insurance company you get assigned to!

I think you are right about the case worker.  Well, wish me luck.  I'm going to try getting the paperwork done for BCBS.
