  1. That was very helpful. Thank you! I'm in Louisiana, though, not Alabama. But still, I understand what you're saying. Thanks again!
  2. I've been told that my Louisiana BC/BS plan does not cover it at all, ever. Is that true? Are there ways to get around that? Also, what companies do cover it? I'm thinking of buying a second policy with a other company that does cover the procedure but I don't know if that would work or even where to start. Thank you!!
  3. Do y'all mind me asking what insurance company you got approval through? My current insurance doesn't cover it and I'm thinking of taking out a secondary policy with a company that does cover it but I don't know which companies to contact. Thanks!

  5. Who do you have your insurance through, if I may ask? I'm thinking of buying a secondary policy since my primary doesn't cover it. Thanks!
  6. Hi, my current insurance doesn't cover the sleeve and I'm considering Mexico. I'd like to try one more thing: buying a second insurance policy that does cover the procedure. The only problem is that I don't know who does or doesn't cover it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Which insurance companies should I check out? Thank you!!
