Do you happen to know if this is in effect for ALL Empire BCBS members? We have Empire, but I called them today to find out if sleeve is covered. The girl I talked to told me that it's not on my plan anywhere, but to have the doctor submit it for prior authorization because my plan is based off of medical necessity. She told me that doesn't mean they'll pay for it if it's medically necessary, but that they might.
