  1. What will BCBS insurance pay for?

    Thegirl8567 posted a topic in Insurance & Financing
    My husband is starting the process for gastric sleeve. We have BCBS IL which doesnt require the 6 mo diet. We have already paid for the consultation with the surgeon and nutritionist appointment (both out of pocket, neither submitted to insurance). He has a cardiologist appt scheduled, and needs to have an endoscopy. My question is- when does the surgeon normally get approval for the surgery? And arent these other appoinments (ie cardiologist) normally covered? How are they covered if the surgery approval is not done yet?
