BC/BS had a meeting the other day about laprascopic WLS

and according to my surgeon BC/BS is trying to make it their policy to consider laprascopic WLS experimental and therefore not cover it.My surgeon thinks its because the insurance companies are afraid that to many people will want the surgery if they don't have to go through the "open" procedure.This sounds like a trick that the insurance companies might try.Has anyone heard this from their surgeon? My doc is going to submit for authorization for either laprascopic or open procedure and see which one they will cover.
