Question:
Is there anyway to get approved for WLS if your policy has an exemption for it?

I have BC/BS of TN and my plan has an exemption to covering weight loss surgery for morbid obesity. I am in serious need of this surgery. Has anyone had any luck with BC/BS with a WLS exemption? If so, what did you do to get approved?    — YankeeRose (posted on October 29, 2004)

Most insurance companies say "unless it is medically necessary". Your Dr. or surgeon should be able to help you with it. Ask. good luck!
