  2. Need help with appeal letter to BCBS Michigan

    Cautious2010 posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    Hello all! I've been approved by BCBS Michigan for a bypass. My BMI was 40 when the paperwork was submitted, but is now 43. I am not comfortable with the bypass procedure and would like to get the sleeve. I have been denied the sleeve procedure and am filling a patient appeal. My surgeon will not write a letter on my behalf because I do not have particular co-morbidities. Do any insurance companies cover the sleeve as a stand alone procedure for my BMI? Does anyone know how close (or not) we are to insurance companies covering it? Have any of you been successful in this type of appeal to your insurance co? Thanks!
