Question:
bc/bs of illinois local 754(central states)

I was reading over my insurance policy and it was stating that it doesn't cover weight loss surgery. Has anybody's insurance stated that and they still were approved? This has got me worked up and I already have a negative feeling as if I'm just going to waste my time trying. I already feel like giving up!!!!!!!!! HELP    — CYNTHIA M.

I have Anthem BCBS ppo of Ohio. They exclude treatment for wightloss (except for the surgery for Morbis Obesity) Meaning they cover it and I did get approved. It depends on how it reads. Does it specifically exclude Weight loss surgery for the Morbid Obese? Look for that typw of wording. Good Luck.
