Hello! I have BC/BS of FL Health Options (HMO). I, too, was denied the first time. You have to send off the appeal.. your Surgeon's office is not responsible for that. I guess the Insurance company wants it to come from you. I'm not sure on the address... I faxed my appeal in. If your unsure, call the Member Services number provided on your Insurance card and verify the address you sent it to. You only have a limited amount of days to appeal, so you want to make sure they'll get it! Oh, and don't be surprised, once they get it, they will call you to set up either a face to face or teleconference appeal. I chose the teleconference, and an hour before it, they called and said I was approved!! I had my surgery 10 weeks ago and I've lost 61 pounds. Good luck!!! :)
